When we talked about freedom, I will always think about Wealth, Health, and time.
I often think that having so much wealth so you could spend it on everything you want is kind of freedom.
But, is it really is?
In sone cases it might be that way
But in my case, as I am a Sandwich generation that has a single income. I need to pay for my brothers student fees, our electricity and bills, foods and almost everything. It seems hard for me to keep up with the lifestyle that was ‘trendy’ for now. A vacation to other parts of the words seems expensive, and I do not think it would give me joy for now. It might be good for a few moments, but I could not imagine how I will feel when I need to spend big percentage of my savings in a very short periode of time.
It just dont feel right for my current situation.
But the situation might not last for longer, if my savings/investment has grown up. And in case of the vacation only needs 5-10% of my protofolio, I will definetely spend it on an ‘expensive vacation’.
It will keep my peace of mind, to be able to delay gratification and keep on track on my financial and personal goals.
Delayed gratification, is one of the most valuable things I’ve learn to be able to survive in any situation and in making any implulsive spendings
Also, it is very simple to live longer with a very low cost and low maintenance lifestyle. The cost is very evicient, and it do not make you worry in case you could not keep up with the standard
