Topic: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? - page 25. (Read 3987 times)

Don't feel that life is that short, you are entitled to anything to be able to achieve what you want to achieve. Don't feel as though living in old age can no longer showcase the skills you have. Don't look weak, even though you know weakness doesn't mean you have to complain about the life you live. As long as you can breathe, walk and move around outside, no one knows someone's fate. Friends, did you know that we still live on earth?

Everyone experiences what you are feeling right now, but do they give up and end their lives just because their wishes don't match their expectations? some may be yes for the weak, but we still have a choice. It depends on how you enjoy life from which point of view.

Simple question:
can you still eat for today?
and is there anyone out there whose life is much more difficult than you?

if yes? then philosophize for today's favors !!

I don't want to work under anybody, this has been my path for years now and things have gotten better than they used to since then, my biggest obstacle is me, money? Not really, but I feel weaker as I keep making my dreams a reality, I want to get my old self back, the old me always look for every opportunities available and I am never scared of giving my all but lately I am getting tired.

I've seen some people who stepped out of their comfort zone and are willing to work hard to improve their lives. The situation may look more difficult for us because we have never experienced a situation outside our comfort zone before but if we stick to our goals and want to keep trying, we will see if what we do will give us good results. There will be several times of failure and it is precisely there that we are tested on whether we deserve to get what we want. Hard work won't lie to us and better results will come to us so we have to keep at it.

Achieving financial freedom is becoming more difficult than ever. Because the list of the world's richest people grabs a bigger share of the pie every year. Of course, it is not impossible for us to achieve our financial freedom, but achieving it really becomes more difficult... I think the most important factor is to succeed in creating the right portfolio. Solid currencies such as gold and Bitcoin should always be our first choice, but we should not neglect to invest in assets that can be taken at risk. As a result, we must not act cowardly when necessary...

Or power? I mean money is power, and if you have a lot of money then you could buy a lot of power with it as well. The people with the biggest power in this world do not actually spend a dime, they are rich of course but they do not spend a time. If you really think that people like jeff bezos or elon musk are the richest people in the world then you do not know the definition of power.

I believe US president is the richest person, or UK prime minister or the king, or German chancellor or whatever they call it, or Putin, or Saudi king, or Qatar king etc etc etc. You see where I am going with this? Money is power, and if you have enough money, you can buy influence with these people, chat with them, they won't chat with you or me, but have 300 billion networth and suddenly you can get in the same room as them.

The biggest obstacle that has been experienced regarding financial freedom is perhaps like this in outline:

- Bad financial management that I often experience, so this inconsistency makes various wishes and plans sometimes not go smoothly. It is because of this, however, that studying financial management is so important.

- Not all the efforts we make are always successful and when it is sometimes we feel hopeless. And this becomes our obstacle to success and achieve financial freedom.

- There are demands from parents or family that we have to work like this. Even though sometimes it depends on us personally in determining how we will be and what kind of work, in fact, sometimes there is pressure in itself

- Business doesn't always run smoothly

I wanted to say that business can be a lifeline, but business is not for everyone. My friend tried several times to start his own business, but each time this ended in nothing. Therefore, I say that business is not easy and it is not for everyone. At the same time, I know people who work at jobs with very high salaries, and they don't even think about going into business because their incomes are very high. Everything is very individual, everyone should find the best option for themselves, and business is not the only way to earn big money.

In addition, it often takes a lot of money to start a business, and this is an obstacle for many. Therefore, I say that we must evaluate our capabilities and do what we can.

Definitely the lack of discipline. I could argue that I have everything right now that could catapult me to financial freedom and yet I find time to procrastinate and laze off sometimes. And it always happen in the most opportune time too like when a venture I have been watching on for a while finally opens up and I am busy doing something else. A big hamper to my financial freedom dream is how hard it is to catch up with inflation too. Prices soar but pay remains the same, and you can't do anything about it.

That's why I am now improving my work and expanding it so that my salary will be high at least. Right now I also plan to save money for next year and find a business that fit in my place. We just have to work hard and of course have faith in God to make our efforts much stronger. Time has tested me many times and because of the financial freedom that improves the lives of many, I have also tried to be open minded and desire the good life that want of us.

It can be an obstacle for now but when you learn to make your own way to surpass this thing you can be unstoppable. My own obstacle right now is money of course since I am really affected by sudden inflation and my salary is not enough for my family, so right now I am planning my things for 2023, planning for plan a and b of course not all things will go according to my way but it will be okay since I believe God has better plans. Maybe just find a new skill that will pay you more, more than your job online. having a limited number of work but has a good quality and bigger salary is better than having multiple but low salary and the quality of your work will be a problem.

It is true that it is easy to learn and catch up on the missing knowledge but at my age it is too late to continue it. Right now I'm just working as a construction laborer and I'm trying to increase the knowledge that will be applicable to my work so that my income can increase a little more along with what I'm earning here in the online world.

As for financial freedom, it's true that not everything can be seen in a small or large amount of money, but rather how you can expand or grow it. It's true that it's not easy to hold a lot of money because we have obligations that also need to be fulfilled for financial freedom to work. Even so, I still dream hard and will strive to reach a life with financial freedom for the comfort of my family.

To make a profit you have to mix money with money, now there is no other way but with this. If we don't have money, there will never be room for wealth. Gambling requires money, investing requires money and building a business is also based on the need for money.

Turn to the concept of new challenges, the world is increasingly developing in the field of technology and investment in bitcoin has taught us how strong it is to hold investment value and most importantly bitcoin is a good asset in the long term, even though there is a big risk in it.

But when we intend to do something, forget about the risks and get out of our comfort zone, because there are no factors for achieving wealth that do not involve risk, our job is simply to minimize these risks with the investment strategies and steps we take. Believe me, people who dare to take risks are closer to the wealth they will get.

There are several aspects that hinder people from investing.

1. Capital (MONEY)
2. Knowledge
3. Do not dare to take risks

This is what keeps people from growing apart from not wanting to take risks and being too comfortable with normal conditions so they don't try new things to supplement their income.
The next question is, how ready are we in a life full of technology, advanced industries and new challenges in investing in Bitcoin?

The way to seek education today is not as difficult as it used to be before the internet became more accessible. So you can hone self-taught skills, in fact the formal paths are made by those for official purposes. However, many current formal education pathways study material that is not relevant to modern conditions. This means that most of the theory but minimal practice in the field. Therefore, for those of you who really feel you have less education, for now everything is accessible, it just depends on how strong your interest is.

Talking about financial freedom means having capable finances to easily support all your needs. This means that in general terms, not all who have sufficient finances really feel financial freedom because where they have more needs, pay for personal transportation every year and also high taxes, and pay employees and company reports that do not always increase in terms of profit. So creating financial freedom is where you adjust your income even though sometimes it is not enough but you are able to control everything in your own hands, not in the hands of your boss.

There are many. You can't just enumerate one as the biggest because all of them are somewhat connected and will help you not achieve financial freedom.

- Government.
- Way of lifestyle
- Attitude (not disciplined, always procrastinating etc.)
- Plans in life
- Your ultimate goal
- Financial Education

These are just some of the biggest obstacles or let's just say problems that will help you not achieve financial freedom. Overall, achieving financial freedom is very easy to say but TBH, it's very hard to achieve. On the other hand, you might surpass what I've said but, in the end, you might still fail to achieve financial freedom for some reasons.

True. Even if you have all the means to make you financially stable, but your mindset is different, then you will never achieve financial freedom no matter how you tried. That is why proper mindset and goal focus is very much important because it will help you save and manage your money wisely so you can easily achieve financial stability in the end.

For me the biggest obstacle is the low level of my education which makes it difficult for me to find a good job that can give me the dream of financial freedom. All I do is look for extra income online. I'm thinking more about saving first and finding a good business that suits me.

Having a job and income is something that is very mandatory for everyone as long as they are alive. Because all humans need food to be able to delay hunger or to recover from hunger. Well, in this case I think it would be better if everyone has a job without greater pressure but can still make enough money. Because real financial freedom is having enough money from our own work without receiving more pressure from other people.

Agree with what you said, Everyone has their own comfort conditions because in any case it does not mean that success in financial education will support their business conditions. This is too simple that sometimes in reality it is much more difficult.
Actually, if we talk about business, I personally feel that good financial education and teaching is only a stepping stone and this still cannot be used as a reference that with this they can do business well.
There are several other conditions that must also be met if you really want to do business and not everyone can do that.

I do not agree with you that a good financial education would necessarily lead to the fact that the majority would now have their own business. A financially literate person can work in a well-paid job and, by competently managing finances, achieve good results in investing.

Business is not as easy as it seems to many, and a person doing his own business will always spend more time than at work. At the same time, a good job and the position of a top manager can bring very large incomes.

Financial education is very important for the formation of a strong society, but not many states are striving to develop this direction. The responsibility for this in our time should be also on the parents, everyone who wants to give their child a better future should think about this from his early years. Achieving financial freedom will not work if a person does not know how to manage their finances.

Lack of support, from your family and government is the first reason I could think of, because even though you didn't have the opportunity to finish any degree or even high school, it doesn't mean that you will not be successful. Enough support firstly from your family is very important, because that'll boost your confidence that you need on keep on trying until you succeed.

Support from the Government is important as well, because not all people finished their studies, that's why Government should give them jobs that is suited for them that pays well based on their job and skills.
