Financial freedom is usually understood as having achieved a wealth that allows you to live without working for the rest of your life. I care more about, and already enjoy, partial financial freedom, because years of saving and investing give me a freedom of choice that if I didn't have money I wouldn't have. Besides, since I like what I do when I work, I am not obsessed with retiring. I think that if I had enough money not to work for the rest of my life I would work, at least part-time, or otherwise, in projects that I create.
i like your concept of life, you continue to intend to be productive, you don't want to retire at a young age and never work again even if you have a stable income. For me personally, financial freedom means that i have full control over the money i earn, i am independent in money and don't lack money at certain moments.
i run a small business and the income i get is enough to meet my daily living needs, i don't feel satisfied with everything i get now, i have strong ambitions to grow further in the future, for now i can say that i have achieved half financial freedom, it never crossed my mind to retire early and vacation in many countries, i have a big responsibility for my business and also my family, my self-worth is my achievements.
