I wouldn't say financial freedom isn't meant for many, it is meant for everybody but we have to do some extra things for we to be among the people that'll be beneficiary of the financial freedom. Assuming everybody gets it then it won't have any value anymore and people that aren't prepared to manage the wealth are going to lose everything and go back to being broke. An example is when someone wins a lottery, after few months or years depending on the quantity of the money, you'll realize that they have lost the money. The banks aren't the ones making it hard for us to have financial freedom, what I think they're doing is making us too relax and settle for less than for we to push further and try to achieve more than what the society has set as limit for us to achieve.
And who will work in the fields and other spheres of human activity if everyone gains financial freedom? No, this is just a utopia that will never be realized. Yes, we tend to indulge in dreams. This is good. The mental process works.
How many people can boast that they enjoy financial freedom? Even with large sums in their accounts, some of them still remain unhappy. Why? To tell the truth, I do not have an answer to this question. Everything is extremely individual.
