Now more then ever before you invest in asssets for example crypto and you can get your financial freedom you can work less and worry less If you make some profits.
But system is designed the way that unless you are not financial or banking pro you should't have that freedom.
Now all this KYC AML and other things restrictions to help to make struggle and even lose money and banks making it all hard for you.
In my estimation the system is designed to keep you within the system and dependent on the government which includes the banking and financial system forever. Unless you decide to go off-grid and out of civilization we'll always be dependent on the system. In terms of financial freedom, you can only achieve that that makes you to be able to afford the things you want but you'll still depend on the system for the security of all of all those things.
