Financial freedom is the pleasure of doing what you enjoy and not being forced to do what you dislike 

And to do that, you should have enough Money  Enough meaning a little more than enough It's a matter of habit I don't think it is a matter of scale It is not a matter of how much money you have You have to really form those habits early Automate your investments, make sure that you start Early Be methodical about it

This should be a non-negotiable thing What goes into all this is making a budget, keeping track of expenses Every time you have the urge to spend money on something, just ask that is it a necessity?

Is it something which will improve your efficiency? Or if it is something which you will derive pleasure from? Don't spend money on anything to impress others
