After a few years of fighting for that coveted lifestyle, the reasons get stronger and more poignant. Read this true story.
Achieving financial freedom to buy this for your child
Achieving Financial Freedom Fireside Chat.
“Dad, what was that you said you wanted to do for us.” It’s called achieving financial freedom. I said looking into this twinkling pair of eyes. He was seven (and a number of years ago) and getting very curious about many things including money and belongings (as in his toys).
Popping a marshmallow in his mouth, we continued our chat sitting cosily by the fireplace. You see, not too long ago, after you were born, I didn’t need to work too much if I didn’t want to. We had enough money to get what we needed.
Daddy had worked for many years and made enough money, stashed away so that Daddy, Mummy and you do not have to worry about not having enough money. We would always have enough. That is what we could call financial freedom.
“You mean if I want that new Thomas Train Set I could have it?” That and good food, good schools good clothes, a roof over our heads. Things like that.
“But right now, we only rent and Mummy bought another house again. And why doesn’t Mummy want to live with us?” That’s the way things get to sometimes you know. Sometimes adults are like kids and the real kids have to go without many things. So that’s why I want to achieve that financial freedom again so that we can have all that stuff we want and need. “Including a house?” Yes…
“But Dad, how did you become financially err… freedom – free? You work in your own company now right?” Yes, and did you like the allowance when you do some little work for me? Well, it’s the same thing if you do it over and over again and then I get more people and more business. Within some years I can again make enough money if I’m careful to invest it properly, to achieve financial freedom again.
“Dad, I like being here with you. Mummy never talks to me like that when I visit her.” And another thing about financial freedom. The freedom part gives you time to do what you want if you wish for it.
“You mean I get to play with you more?” You already have your Dad most of the day, but yes, we’ll be doing more things together. It’s very important for a family to be doing more things together, like fishing.
“I love fishing. I get so many fish. Can I help you get financial freedom?” Well, you can wish for it with all your heart and be the best kid a Dad could ever have.
“Then I wish for it with all my heart that we achieve financial freedom.” Thank you baby. Now, it’s two more nights to Christmas. Time for bed buddy (see original article).
