Achieving financial freedom: strategies for long-term succes

The Star

May 02, 2025

MANY people dream of financial freedom, but the path to achieving it is often misunderstood. It's not a destination you can reach overnight but rather a carefully navigated journey.

- ADRIAAN PASK

To succeed, you must focus on the long term, make smart adjustments, and understand the importance of managing risks and diversification.

Maintain a long-term focus don't be discouraged by short-term issues

It's essential to set goals to stay on track. Define what financial freedom means to you whether it's retiring comfortably or achieving a specific return (such as a certain percentage above inflation) and let that goal guide your decisions.

These investments often promise high returns, but they come with a wide range of unpredictable outcomes. From that perspective, the wealth planning value of these assets is poor, as it introduces a probability of failure to reach your long-term goals. Chasing quick profits can undermine your long-term plans, especially if you end up losing money in risky ventures. Instead, focus on reliable, long-term strategies that provide the highest probability of success.

There are no quick fixes, but smart, minor adjustments can make a big difference
