In the end, when asked a question like this, it's up to each individual to decide because there is no definite answer as to which of these two jobs is better, freelance or conventional workers. Because both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and of course the best choice depends on each individual, starting from lifestyle, career goals or according to needs as you said.
However, to achieve our goals quickly, we must try to be able to do both. Income from conventional work to be able to meet the needs of life must be stable, income from freelance work can be diverted to investment for the future. So being able to live both will be better. After all, the more income, the better to achieve financial freedom in the future.
Having more than one source of income is highly recommended - it would be a good combination if you have both passive and active income. Active income from work, profits from sales, or other such can be used for various basic needs - if it can be saved, it can also increase your reserve budget and diversify your assets. It's up to you how you spend this active income - but if you can save it then it will be better for your big plans in the future.
Having more than one source of income is really important - but not all of us have it. Some feel that having only one source
[active or passive income] is enough but it is better to try to have both. Although some of us plan to achieve financial freedom this way - but financial stability is the most important thing.
