If the respondents are defining “financial freedom” of course they’re going to say they don’t have it.
I make a decent salary and I would still say I don’t have financial freedom.
A bunch of people say they do have it, though. A “decent salary” (also self-defined) doesn’t guarantee financial freedom because of things like debt, the astronomical cost of healthcare, and the fact that you’ll never be able to comfortably retire unless you’re a literal multimillionaire.
what is financial freedom? like, never having to worry about money?
because even billionaires aren’t financially free then.
