And yes, it gives you choices. And it gives you time to pursue the things that will make you happy, financial freedom is great. But we can actually pursue our happiness and pursue a more satisfied and more fulfilled life, with or without financial freedom. And so in today's episode, I wanted to actually get yourself asking a question to find out, okay, what is actually going to make me happier, because so often when we're in the thick of it, when we're struggling to pay our bills, where we've got mortgages or rent, to pay mouths to feed, all of that good stuff that goes into making life awesome. But when we're in the thick of it, doing the day to day grind of our job, and the stress and everything that comes with that, it can be really hard to actually get out of our own heads and get out of our own lives and think what actually would make me happy, because to be honest, I kind of just worked for financial freedom up until I was 28. And I got my pseudo financial freedom. I didn't actually think, Okay, what do I want to do with my life? What do I want to do when I'm financially free? What will make me happy? I was just like, financial freedom is my goal. I need to strive to that. And I think even if I tried to stop and think, Okay, what will I want to do? I didn't really know. And so often, the things that come up are those big things, those, okay, you're going to live this travel lifestyle, you're going to live in a mansion, you're going to drive this really expensive car, all of that sort of stuff. But I think for most of us, if we really stop and think about it, we know that that stuff's not going to make us happy. We know that that's not going to make us fulfilled in life. Yet, it would be nice to have both do we need it in order to live a happy and fulfilled life? No, most of us don't. And for me, the idea of having a mansion just means more cleaning, or just means I need to hire a cleaner to keep it clean. And just the big space, it would be cold. And you know, I'd be so far from my children, I feel like we would interact less. So it's not something that I would like. So today, I feel like the answer to our question of Okay, what's going to make us happy? We're not trying to find the answer to that. We're trying to find better questions that are going to lead us to a better understanding of ourselves. So today, I have a question for you, as I sit outside here in the sun and drink my coffee, I apologize for the outside noise for the sound of the cars bouncing off the wall here for trains as they go past if and when they will. But it was just too nice to not film this morning. And so the question is this, if you were financially free, and didn't have to work, so let's just pretend you're financially free through properties, let's say you've done the to property to financial freedom strategy, I will probably have done five properties with five granny flats, or maybe you don't through shares, he comes a train right now.\\n\\n\\n\\nHowever, it is that you did it, you're financially free, you don't need to worry about money, you don't need to work, but you want to work because you know, you're still young, you still want to actually do good, you want to be challenged, you want to do that sort of thing. If your financial frame didn't have to work,"
