Financial freedom: what others think and feel

If you have been reading my blog for some time, you will realise that the reasons surrounding why I am so focussed on financial freedom come from a few incidents in my life. These incidents helped me reach an epiphany when it dawned upon me that my financial security under the old paradigm of work-earn-spend-work cycle was an illusion. Hence, financial freedom really is within my hands to control by managing how I spend or save each dollar I earn.

If you are reading my blog for the very first time, welcome, and let me share with you what others think about financial freedom. I follow this blog by Danny Choo, a well-known Otaku and web services developer who happens to go around in Star Wars Storm Trooper armour throughout the streets of Tokyo. He studied in UK and majored in Japanese hence decided to work and live in Japan. He also shares about his thoughts about life and why he drives himself so hard to make money running his own business in Web Development.

I find that he is being quite honest when he says that MONEY brings financial freedom for him to pursue the kind of life he wants in terms of work, play and family. His hard work and perseverance resulted in him owning a three-storey house in Tokyo. Material accomplishments aside, he pursues a life filled with meeting many interesting people in the Japanese online web services eco-system and he is living the life that he wants to live.

Do give his post a read if you are a bit tired of Panzer's rattling on and on and on and on about financial freedom as Danny writes with a sense of humour as well if you understand his Otaku jokes weaved into the tapestry of his posts.

Be well and prosper.
