If the respondents are defining "financial freedom" of course they're going to say they don't have it.
I make a decent salary and I would still say I don't have financial freedom.
No matter how much money I have, I won't be financially free until the day I officially RETIRE. As long as I have to work, I'm not free.
what is financial freedom? like, never having to worry about money?
because even billionaires aren't financially free then.
Financial Freedom is owning enough capital to not have to actually work.
