WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO YOU?

For some, it’s the moment they turn 18, and for others, it’s a longer journey, but it’s always fulfilling when you finally get there.There’s no right or wrong way to do it, as long as you’re making the right choices for you. Most of us may not think of financial independence as freedom, but it’s a freedom not everyone enjoys.

Freedom extends far and wide in this country, from a person paying off debt to landing the job that will support their family. When an employee is able to retire before they expected with the means to sustain themselves for the rest of their days, that’s freedom. When a college student can pay off their tuition without going into debt, they experience a huge sense of freedom.
