Wealth and Financial Independence

How great would it be to have the wealth to provide yourself with financial freedom and independence?

One of the primary goals in my coaching is to help all of my clients obtain a great quality of life via major improvements in their current state of being. In order to do so, it's imperative that we discuss wealth and financial freedom.

Like it or not, we live in a society that has a major focus on wealth; we are not living among Tibetan monks. Nearly everyone will agree that while wealth doesn't buy happiness, it does PROVIDE choices and ACCESS to things we need and want out of life, including non-material goals. Having the freedom of choice allows one to escape situations and people who would cause harm, negative feelings, and toxic emotions to consistently well up. Thus, you could say that wealth plays a huge role in obtaining a truly elevated quality of life, which is one of our chief goals.

Wealth is the abundance of valuable financial assets or physical possessions which can be converted into a form that can be used for transactions. Wealth is such an interesting topic and can mean so many different things to so many different people. Thus, it is up to each of us to clearly define what it means to ourselves, and we set our own goal-number that may or will change as the circumstances themselves change during our lives. 

To me, it's not the raw amount of wealth that matters most, but how that wealth provides you with the wonderful freedom to acquire everything that you need and some of what you want. I know that proper financial management leads to financial security and ultimately to financial independence which are critical components to a fulfilling and enjoyable life.
