WHAT DOES FINANCIAL FREEDOM LOOK LIKE TO YOU?”
We share these questions on Thursdays because:
1) they are good conversation starters with your partner or yourself.
2) these are genuine questions that we also have to work through ourselves and would like to hear your perspective/feedback.
This ‘Thinking Thursday’ in particular had me stumped for a while. I originally tackled this question as a short answer ….. “financial freedom for us is to ________”, but I quickly realized that my short answer didn’t encompass all aspects of our finances. This realization sent me back to the drawing board and I started to jot down things that I wanted us to accomplish, in order to find the answer that suited our family dynamic, and then….. 💥boom💥, it all made sense.
Financial freedom for us is a road trip with rest stops, rather than a one-off destination💡. Quite similar to Dave Ramsey’s baby steps but tailored to us. I took my time and gave it some thought and came up with our personal steps to freedom. These steps also end with our ultimate goal which is to build and furnish our dream home with little to no financing 🤞🏾. This ‘Thinking Thursday’ was a good one and if you haven’t already, I encourage you to take some time to figure out exactly what financial freedom means to you. I can guarantee that you won’t regret it.
