Financial freedom means more than the ability to juggle a paycheck, pick a few good investments, retire at 65, and keep debt levels manageable. Instead, true financial freedom involves understanding the psychological, emotional, and intellectual implications of money and wealth, and how to be the master of money, rather than its servant.
