Achieving financial freedom may be a goal for several people. It generally means having enough savings, investments, and cash available to afford the lifestyle you’d like for yourself and your family—and a growing nest egg which can allow you to retire or pursue the career you’d like without being driven by earning a specific amount annually.
Unfortunately, too many of us fail to realize it. they’re burdened with increasing debt, financial emergencies, profligate spending, and other issues that thwart them from reaching their goals. Then there are unexpected events, sort of a hurricane or earthquake—or pandemic—that overturn plans and reveal holes in their safety nets that weren’t visible before.
