Why Knowledge Is Pass to Financial Freedom

OR many of you, financial freedom is a dream. It is a world where you have enough money to pay for your travel or do the things you want without worrying about monthly budgets or making ends meet.

- Rajas Kelkar (The author is editor-in-chief at www.moneyminute.in)

As you review your finances and prospects for future income, you fear that you will never be able to have enough to realize that dream. Financial freedom is more in the head than in reality. For some, merely not owing money to anyone is financial freedom. For others, it could be having enough by way of investment, rent or inheritance to pay for all monthly expenses. Those who are salaried probably dream of quitting their day job and working at their own pace by joining the gig economy. The idea is to use the free time to travel the world or start up something that is aligned with their dreams.

Your goal to live your life on your terms needs your help. That is perhaps the biggest block. At the same time, there is a lot of excitement about making money, but very few are inclined to learn new things. Conveniently, the blame is put on the poor income or the complexity of learning. The inertia stalls your progress more than the lack of money or knowledge.
