You Know You Have Financial Freedom When

So sorry for my absence from blogging last week. Our little guy had his tonsils and adenoids taken out last Monday along with tubes put in his ears. So last week I played nurse so blogging was put on the back burner. Our little guy is doing great and we are glad to have it behind us!! On to Money Monday from Joseph Sangl.... You Know You Have Financial Freedom When… Since July 4th was last week– Independence Day for the United States of America, I thought it would be great to share some ways that you KNOW that you have Financial Freedom! You know you have financial freedom when … You forget when payday is. The car completely blows up, and you can just go pay cash for another one. You are not afraid to tell your manager that he/she is wrong and that there is a better way.  (I have seen many people who are afraid to tell their manager this for fear of retribution or loss of their job.  That’s too bad. I believe that most managers love to have their employees tell them when they are wrong!) You lose your income and your healthy savings account allows you to live for months without incurring any new debt. You lose the fear of negotiating a better deal.  (If anything costs more than $100, it is worth negotiating – including with services like doctors, dentists, chiropractors, massage therapists, house cleaning, cable, etc. Bill paying time takes a total of 30 minutes a month. You can take the job you were put on earth to do … regardless of the income potential! You have enough.  “Enough” does not have a number, but you have financial freedom when you KNOW you have “enough.” What are some others you would add to this? Finish the sentence …  “You know you have financial freedom when …” Looking for additional Personal Finance Resources?  You can obtain our free financial tools by clicking HERE.
