This is a question that almost everyone got asked once in a life time and people also ask themselves the same question that "How much money is enough for them? So that they won't need to worry and live freely" The answer, of course, is different for every person. I know a fact that the idea is the same for everyone else as well.
Because human begins wants to reach a point where money is no longer a constant source of stress and the same goes for me as well. Even though I am still a student there are sometimes when the bills keeps me and my family awake at night, and the constant tension about rent. But I want to achieve a moment where I no longer have to worry and can enjoy life with a sense of freedom with my family.
Firstly, if my financial peace is meeting the daily needs without any kind of struggle then this is the thing that I am looking for which means having enough money to cover up the rent, groceries, transportation, medical, and education.
Secondly, beyond these daily needs there will be a cushion of security. Which means if we have any fall like something serious happens such as a medical emergency, or if someone in the house lost their job, or any kind of family issue. Then the enough money that I have will come in help, I will have my backup for emergencies and not worry about the further problems. But without money I will fall into debt or panic.
Thirdly, I will have freedom of choices and if you ask me how then I will give you few examples. Like I can start travelling countries that are on my wishlist or I can start a small business of my own like an online shop which I always planned to have. I can reduce my hour of working to spend my time with family. Money will cover my time and needs which means I get the freedom to do whatever I want.
This could also mean that I am gonna be able to eat out at a nice restaurant now and then. Maybe I can go to the shoppings with my friends and treat them in an expensive restaurant. Basically money will provide me the control of how to spend my time.
So, how much money does it really take? Actually I am not sure it depends on the goal which I want to achieve or what kind of life I want to lead. If I want to live a normal life like a middle class family then I won't need much but the numbers will increase of my needs of money if I choose to travel countries, same goes with other option it will increase and decrease.
The type of life I want is lavish, which I want to earn by my own. If I am able to earn 82,151.60 USD every 6 month then I would consider it enough for me and my family. I think after that me and my family can stay out of worries and enjoy our life. I have many desires and want to do many things for my parents so this kind of money is necessary for me to fulfil my wishes.
So, I believe to stop worrying and live freely for a person is possible if they have enough to cover up the needs, protect them from downfalls, and provides multiple choices. Anyway, it's not only about the money but also about how a person can use it. To be honest the freedom is when money does not get the chance to control you, and instead, I can use it to shape my life that I truly desire.
