Have you ever met someone who has succeeded in achieving financial freedom?

[Uruhara]

If there is and you have ever met people who have achieved financial freedom then what lessons can you take from them?

I have a few persons who I consider financial independent, and what I have learned more from these persons has been more from observation than from what they have told me.
People I know who are financially independent are;
- usually conscious about money even though they appear not to be.
- they have achieved financial freedom from having more than one source of income.
-Even though they have achieved financial freedom, they are still not lazy or careless about making more money.

Well, I also found these points in my neighbors who also seemed to have financial freedom. And yes, even though they have financial freedom and already have a passive source of income, they are not lazy. They enjoy their lives while remaining productive people. Even when they fill their lives with their hobbies, their hobbies can still make them earn more income. The point is that they are competent, disciplined and hard working people. So their way of enjoying life is quite unique.

There is at some point a close friend of mine and a neighbor who once succeed to have financial freedom .

Why I said "Once"? then here the story ..


Back in 2007 when His dad Won a lottery jackpot and yeah that changes their life , leaving our community and migrated to one exclusive subdivision and leave a wealthy life.

From there we even lose communication because they stopped talking to people from our community(including me maybe because they wanted to have full security)

But one day in 2020 ? when the[pandemic is striking the world? we are shocked seeing them returning to their Old house here  and start living like what we used back in the days .

And of course rumor comes as they did not admitted what really happen but the truth is they lose all the money because of mismanagement .

the lesson I learned?

Never let your luxurious life covers your normal life because that will end you the same faith as how they are now .

So their way of enjoying life is quite unique.

Of course, even people can reach the financial freedom, they won't stop working. Successful people will never think to be lazy people, there is no plan to enjoy life without doing productive business. It is because they are used to living productively and working hard, they know it is the only way to be successful. Even the people have some hobbies, the hobbies must related to their business. I also know some people with this characteristics, they also have been reaching the financial freedom. But sure, they never live with laziness, they are still productive and have higher goals in their life.

I think I consider my sister to be one, although she still needs to pay credit regularly but I bet she can live well without working for the next 10 years or so. She's a hard-working person, and she knows when and how to take chances. You also need to be smart to do that, although that's more about her working environment which demands a high understanding of certain subjects.

Not sure if she has multiple sources of income, but I believe she invested in various assets diligently. So a passive income is one of the things that help you gain some degree of financial freedom IMO.

Well, passive income is something that is a must have if we want to achieve financial freedom. Because we can live freely without thinking about where our source of income comes from.

Extraordinary. you have a great brother. And I hope I can also become a person who can better manage my finances and make my financial growth to the next level. Hopefully you and your siblings will also continue to achieve greater success, sir.

I have seen many and also myself. My younger cousin brother went to school with me at the same time and we graduated at the same time and he made make at the age of 22+ and immediately got money he left his parents and leave on his own and by then I was in National Service and after my service year, I also see job and made my money and became free and got my financial freedom from there. And one thing I know is that you don't have to think of making money because your brother or friend or neighbor has made it. Be focus and patient can liberate you to the level you want. Don't imitate others. Financial Freedom is not something you rush in but it is a gradual process. Sometimes it is the environment and once you change environment, you might hit the jackpot.

I have met friends that are succeeded in achieving financial freedom I have met someone from a friend of mine who had gained a lot of money from crypto I was shocked because, at a very young age, he had that large amount of money. we may not have the same path as them but if we work hard and smart then we can achieve financial freedom we should not rush things either.

Is she in the crypto industry as well or just centralized assets? Based on my understanding with the above information I can say that your sister is a highly skilled and smart independent woman and for me there is no doubt that she will achieve financial freedom with ease.

I believe it is different for everyone Or just not really thinking about money anymore because it is continuous the definition of “Financial freedom” There are a lot of things to consider like if you are going to Be an early Retirement, Or just not really thinking about money anymore because it is a continuous income.

We all have different appetite with money, so I think it is really just different for everyone.

I learned it from someone who is financially free and he just said that he doesn’t need to think about anything any more just to live. I think it is really different when you are financially free.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

The further we more the more we see and the clearer it becomes on us to know what is ahead, financial freedom starts from the mentality on each ones head, how we see it and being able to accommodate the conviction for it, financial freedom is not just what we will be saying by ordinary mouth, but what we must take time in making everything works in our favour in other for us to achieve in life all we have aimed at concerning finances.

Yeah I have met a lot of people who has achieved financial freedom some made it through trading, wealth inheritance, winning from gambling, hard works through an 8-5 job locally and some through working abroad. Based on my observation they really has different way of achieving it and that is quite interesting and that got me thinking what would be my unique way of achieving it.

It's hard to find an 8-5 jobs that can make you financially free, you might have money to take care of yourself and family but being financially free is a different ball game entirely. But forex trading and crypto trading has made a lot of people financially free I can agree with that. There's a catch to this though financial freedom isn't just about hitting a huge amount of money one time its about your income flow. You might win 50 thousand dollars but that doesn't make you financially free unless that money is generating more money, if this isn't done you will only end up spending all you have and coming back to square one

Honestly It is always inspiring to see someone achieve financial freedom, especially when they stay humble and hardworking just like your neighbor. His journey shows that financial success often comes from consistent effort and maintaining positive attitude. The fact that he does not complain and respects others suggests that financial freedom is not just about wealth but also about character and how you approach life. His way of life should be an example that reminds us all that perseverance and gratitude are as important as financial goals and they serve as basic features and steps to success.
