“Simplicity and striving for freedom.”
FI is the motivation to pursue your dreams and goals. To provide a basic, comfortable existence for oneself and one’s family. When work consumes your life, you may experience feelings of exhaustion, resentment, and a lack of personal fulfillment.
In today’s episode, Ben and Deb discuss what financial independence is and why it’s crucial to go after it without limiting your ambitions. Many of us live under the illusion that once we have material things in our possession, we’re satisfied. But are we?
In this episode, listen for
- Discusses JD Steins’ podcast “Money for the rest of us” surrounding how happiness brings us simplicity [4:18]
- A focus to strive for a life of independence [6:26]
- Work services a valuable purpose and it can be life-giving whenever you’re giving of yourself [11:48]
We want the design we have in mind for our life to be reflected in the work we do. The purpose of financial independence is to achieve a level of satisfaction, stability, and simplicity in one’s life. It is time to stop worrying about the superficial aspects of life and start appreciating what you have in front of you. We’re going to leave you with a question: do you work to live or do you live to work?
