Financial Freedom

Many people dream of financial freedom but most of them misunderstand what is the true meaning of financial freedom. Most people believe that financial freedom is equal to rich, and they no worry about money in future. Actually this is wrong, imagine if I give you $1,000,000 does it mean you already achieve financial freedom?

What is Financial Freedom
In order to explain more detail, you may need some basic understanding of “Income”. Income has 2 types Active & passive. Active Income commonly known as Salary. Where most of the people know this. Passive income is termed as you are not required to work much and money keeps flowing in. Example, renting out a house, all you need to do is collect monthly rental fee only.

The correct way is to convert active income into passive income. Example, use active income to buy a house, rent it out, then collect monthly rental fee. Assume that your monthly loan installment is $500 but you collect monthly rental $700, therefore you have make $200 passive income every month. Once your passive income is consistent and become more than active income, you are achieved financial freedom. And this is the way to achieve ultimate wealth.
