I mean what does financial freedom mean? Does it mean having enough money so that you can make your dreams come true? That is achievable through a traditional job as well if it's paid good.

Or maybe financial freedom means that you want to get to work however you like and be paid as much as you can by performing said work. There are a lot of people that are overworked and underworked in normal jobs. While some may feel their responsibilities overwhelming, others may be looking for doing more than their current job allows them.
