This is the question that every person in their young twenties is facing, including me. And if you are here for some steps to do it, this is not the article for you as there are millions of articles and videos for that on the internet. Everyone motivational speaker or writer is giving us a similar answer that you will need to follow your passion. After a certain amount of time, you will be able to monetize it, and through that, you will be able to achieve financial freedom.

According to my thoughts, the process that we follow to achieve financial freedom or become financially independent is the main part. I read a quote somewhere, “Trust the Process And I believe in that quote as if you show up to work daily determined and do hard work, you will definitely get the results, and the result will be sweet. There’s a little bit of modification by me in the quote.

Love the Process.

As the process through which we will be able to have enough money is the fun part. And let’s do a mathematical calculation. We do something like clicking photos, writing articles, code, dance anything for a period of 10 years continuously, and becoming financially happy in the end. Then how long do you think you will be able to enjoy the result in the end? A week, a month, or let’s say a year. Tell me which is greater, 10 or 1.

Let me give you an example for this, a guy worked 10 years at any occupation which he did not much like to achieve financial freedom and made a million dollars in savings. And on the other side, a girl followed her dream occupation to make about 500k dollars in savings at the end of 10 years. Tell me, which person would be happier? The girl definitely would be happier even if she is having less money than the guy because she enjoyed her 10 years of life alongside earning money.

We should have one goal: “Until the age of 30, I want to become financially free no matter what.” We may achieve the goal in some different ways that we might not have thought about right now. That’s because, with each step in life, something new happens, and that can lead to new beginnings. It can also be much better than the ways that we had initially planned. We need to do what we want to do and positively think that the goal will be achieved. It’s sometimes okay to change the path, but the end goal should remain the same. So the new path can be a more fun opportunity in your life, and we need to take advantage of it to reach the goal.

Hold the Goal tight and achieve it. .”
