What do you think is "freedom of wealth" What kind of life do you want after wealth is free?

Let's talk about what wealth and freedom are. Simply put, wealth freedom means having enough time and money to do what you want. On the premise that "basic" living needs are guaranteed continuously, there is enough capital to "freely" invest in what "should" do.

A friend I know, aged 30, cashed in more than ten thousand shares at 360 10, bought several suites (two apartments and one business) in Beijing, and deposited millions.

From 20 15 to 20 16, I started a mobile game company. In 20 15, he developed a 2D card game with high quality and fluency with his own game engine: the story of death Q, which was recognized by investors and raised 5 million yuan to start his entrepreneurial career.

Although starting a business as CEO, the company has more than 20 employees, but programming is still his passion, and he is still at the forefront of technological breakthroughs. During this period, they tried 2D mobile games, 2D fighting games and 3D fighting games, and missed some opportunities because of decision-making problems.

With the change of wind direction and environment, the mobile game venture finally failed. At the end of 20 16, he sold the company to a financial giant and cashed in a sum.

At present, I am a manager in a big factory, and my annual salary+self-media+consulting income totals several million. Stock trading began in 2020, earning more than 2 million yuan in a year or so:

There are hundreds of thousands of other miscellaneous financial income, so I won't show them one by one.

The total annual income is about 5 million, of which the passive part (financial management and self-media) is about 3 million, and the total assets are about 40 million, which can definitely be regarded as financial freedom.

More importantly, he believes that work and life are inseparable, and successful work will keep a person young all the time.

When he was a code farmer, he always pursued to be an architect. It took about five years, and finally I got my wish, and I was able to control and even create a business structure. But when this goal was achieved, a sense of loss and pain suddenly struck.

During that time, it was like a lost soul. After constant reflection, he found his true love: products and business. This is something he deserves to pursue and explore all his life.

When 90% of a person's happiness comes from work, and work and life have long been integrated, there really is no problem of being a social animal.

He regards every day of struggle in the company as every step to realize his dream, which may not be recognized by many friends. After all, the relationship between migrant workers and capitalists is exploitation and exploitation.

But he really thinks so. Work must be two incomes: salary and ability improvement, and he values the latter more.

So for him, financial freedom only reduces some decision-making costs when buying things, and the others are really not much different.

In addition, many bosses around him have reached the level of wealth and freedom, and they are more diligent than young people. Some of them live in 1000 flat villas, live downstairs in the company, leave their families behind to start a second business in the city, and are so tired that they are hospitalized and have conference calls all day. Compared with them, he said that this level of diligence is really nothing.

Of course, having said so much does not mean that financial freedom is useless. Money is still a good thing. Seriously, money can set you free.

Financial freedom feels good, such as the feeling of fish unhooking, the feeling of tiger coming out of the cage, and the feeling of trying to stretch for the first time after shrinking hands and feet. Financial freedom won't make you feel extremely excited for the time being, but it can relieve some of your stress for a long time, which means you have a choice.

As soon as you enter this state, you will suddenly see the possibility of many things and dreams in the world, so the younger you are, the better your financial freedom is.

Every day after financial freedom, I really work for my dreams. You won't look forward to the day when you get paid, and you won't curry favor with the leaders for a raise. Your full attention will return to the matter itself, which will accelerate your growth.

You don't care about the house price when you are at work, you don't consider the price of the restaurant when you invite friends to dinner, and you don't worry that you will lose your job one day, and your survival will be a problem.
