They didn&#8217;t learn or\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">model from others<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>who have succeeded before them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So does being rich absolutely mean having more freedom, or security, or even peace of mind? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not necessarily. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Being rich certainly provides material convenience, but you and I know there are plenty of rich people out there who are completely miserable. Sometimes they miss the whole point of being rich \u2014 i.e. freedom and happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instead, they work even more than some middle-class people, who struggle just as hard, because some rich folks think they <i>have<\/i> to work harder in order to stay rich and \u201cfree.\u201d Can you believe that?!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So in the end, what are we really after? What do we <i>really<\/i> want?\u00a0The house we want can give us a sense of <b>comfort<\/b>. The car we want can heighten a feeling of <b>importance<\/b>. Travel and toys can bring <b>excitement<\/b> and stave off boredom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But you don\u2019t have to wait to be rich in order to have these things or experience the feeling\u00a0of freedom and happiness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The goal isn\u2019t to get rich in order to be free. Let\u2019s turn that around!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The road to financial freedom is different than the road to riches.
