Many people think that by acquiring a high income, inherit billions of dollars, get the lottery, etc. are financially free is meant.

Although not completely false, that argument was not entirely correct. Because financially free is not determined by the amount of income you get. But how do we regulate the amount of expenditure does not exceed the income scale. It is of course to reach the financially free level of the two variables must be met. For how can set the variable to be spending less if the variable income is zero. Unless you decide to become a hermit and live in the jungle for example.

So the first step to be financially free is to have income. Afterwards, we set the amount of expenditure to be adjusted with the amount of income. Basically, as long as we can put a small amount of spending more than spending the same time we are financially free, regardless of the score. The old saying says "a little should suffice, much must be left over."

By changing this paradigm, the real achievement of financially free does not always have to be achieved by having the income to the skies. Because precisely as a result of this paradigm many people are in pursuit of financial freedom, instead of achieving the goal instead become trapped in a vicious cycle of financial slavery.

Now imagine, people work in order to earn money and achieve financial freedom. Because of the economic situation, the factor of inflation, monetary and so people are required to work even harder. For even in nominal salary of a staff increase from year to year, the real value of their purchasing power is almost parallel with the rising prices of goods. Unless of course if they received a special promotion. And remember also the higher the position of someone, the more time that must be devoted to his work. The result is that the less time it has also to be enjoyed with family and environment. Something that is actually the main purpose of a person to achieve financial freedom.

But do not be mistaken for someone with an income too high or have some factories even if already financially free. When the desire to accumulate as much money as possible is still weighing his mind, made him work like crazy and have no free time either for himself or for his family, he has not actually financially free. Perhaps the best illustration to describe this is Uncle Scrooge in the Disney cartoon. Ironic indeed, a lot of money plentiful but his heart was poor, even for shopping keperluannya even decently.

So again, it should be remembered for financially free does not have to be achieved with high income and also no way to be stingy with yourself. For as long as we can adjust the amount of expenditure under the revenue, do not hesitate to pamper yourself and family to shop for something we want. Including recreation course.

Therefore, people are now more aware to not spend time to work hard for life, away from family and environment, to finally kicked when age is no longer productive. The paradigm that is now no longer use the Hard Work, but Work Smart! Creating a passive income (passive income) is one of them. Because by having a relatively passive income then we have to use more time with family and make ourselves more beneficial to the environment. No matter how large that income, would be much more meaningful when compared with high income that must be exchanged with the loss of our time with family.

So now the choice is yours. Want to work hard for life or begin to think to look for other alternatives, to be financially free.
