Not having my own space is the biggest obstacle for me because I think being financially independent is where financial freedom starts. I heard a story once that the younger you start being independent, the better. But most cannot afford that because leaving and not providing for the relatives is sometimes not an option. But having a plan will help. Once I got my on space and have control over my on finances, I'll make it easier to get me there towards financial freedom. Anyway, us who endure the journey will reap the reward out there.
This is relatable since in our country, you tend to focus on helping your family when you have a job, and being focused on yourself to be financially independent is hard to achieve. I'm not saying that it is not possible to happen, but it is true that planning would make everything goes into place. I just hope that everyone would have the courage to keep going because we'll soon be able to make ourselves be proud of making ourselves be financially independent.
Its feel happy to read that you guys are so strong. Financial freedom is so hard to achieve especially when you came from a average family, what I mean is not so rich like other people who can spend their money anytime and anywhere they want. I agree that family is one the biggest obstacle on achieving it, I didnt mean that its a bad thing. What I mean is I saw lots of young people who do hustling so hard even they are studying to help their family on financial needs especially like bills. On others story, after they graduated instead of fulfilling their own dreams, they set aside it to help first. Its like, "family first" concept before themselves. And I salute to those type of young people, I believe that someday it will be worth it all the sacrificed that they do for their family.
