To me, I will choose the second one. If I am happy with what I have and I am certain that it will continue to help me in the future too, then I have successfully achieved financial freedom. But most people these days are caught up with the thought of using luxurious thing and being able to continuously use it is financial freedom to them.

Do you agree or disagree to this? Let me know your thoughts.

Disagree in case that people buying luxury items is real rich that can afford that kind of luxury items. They have the right to spend their money on their own way because that what really financial freedom. That’s how some people makes themselves happy using their money and we don’t have any say to that because we have different preferences in life.

If you are buying luxury item because you want it and you can financially then I don’t see any problem on it. I believe the only problem here is how other people being envy and not the person buying luxury item with their own money.

As long as their salary or wealth can afford things then let them be. Seeing your salary to something’s price shouldn’t be a bad thing but it is okay to feel insecure. What would matter is your next action; will you just belittle yourself of work harder in order to be or to have ‘more’ than what you have at this point. We always have choices. Never dictate someone on how should they spend their money. They basically can buy luxurious things simply because they have the money to do so; they worked hard for it. We just got used with our own setting; buying a perfume below hundred bucks but it will never be the standard. We all have circumstances and differences with financial capacity. Either you accept and just live through it or create better changes for yourself.

I agree. All of us has our own wants that will make us happy if we achieve to buy or to experience it in our life. We can't judge other person if they are enjoying things that are luxurious given that it may be their source of happiness in their life. Things like luxury can push other people to strive and be better to achieve it, I myself has switched different hobbies and some of those hobbies really cost a lot. It really motivates me to be better because I want it for myself even it's not practical, it makes me happy. I don't care what other person thinks of me, what is important is it makes me happy.

What do you think why do we want to have a financial freedom? To be stable and to be happy, being happy is subjective from person to person.
