I absolutely love this week’s prompt; it’s such an interesting and thought-provoking one. The moment I saw the topic, it immediately brought a smile to my face: How much money do you actually need to stop worrying about finances and live freely?
Hmmm, what an interesting topic.
If I am going to be honest with this question, I would say I don't know the exact amount I need because, really, I need a lot and lots of money that I know would run into trillions to solve all my financial needs. I know this may sound unrealistic to some people, but my financial goals are far beyond just securing my personal comfort.
I have a lot of things in my mind that if money was never a problem, I would want to do, not just for me and my family, but for my community and even the world at large.
We live in a crazy world where so many people are seriously struggling; they work hard every day and night just to make ends meet, while the people in power, the people that promised to serve the masses better, seem to have forgotten their promises. Our leaders have prioritized their own personal interests and those of their families, while the innocent and poor masses that voted for them are always looking for ways to fend for themselves.
If money was never a problem, I would love to have an organization that feeds millions of people every single day, at least two meals a day. The thought of those who go to bed hungry every day—there are children who cry themselves to sleep every day because of hunger. I have seen and heard of parents who sacrifice their own meals so their kids can eat. So a project like this would require serious money, maybe in billions.
Another thing I would love to do is to build an army barracks in my village the rate of insecurity their is becoming alarming and a state-of-the-art hospital. Healthcare is something that should be a basic right for every human being, but in many places, including my community, it’s a luxury. It's so sad. This again needs lots of funds.
I also have personal dreams, one of which is owning massive farmland, farmland that is big enough to feed an entire nation. Agriculture has always been my dream, it is something I have dreamt of venturing into on a large scale for a very long time.
For me, farming is not just about growing food and making a lot of profit from it to become rich, it’s far beyond that. For me farming is about sustainability, empowerment, and making sure everyone has on their table at an affordable rate.
So, if I were to answer this question honestly over and over again, I would say that the amount I need right now is… limitless. Because even my dreams are just limitless.
