The one thing I will focus on in 2015 is being financially independent.

The reason is because I had developed a bad spending habit over the years due to a poverty mindset.

My thinking was if I had more money or was a millionaire, I would be happy.

The problem with the thinking is that we are not satisfied with what we have.

It is one of the scriptures that said, “If you can handle the smallest things, then you can manage the bigger things. #paraphrased.

What this means is if you can’t manage the smallest amount of money, then how are you going to handle a million dollars.

Example of this is former NBA professional players who go broke after retiring because they spend on big houses and cars or lottery winners who wind up losing their earnings in a few years.

Even though the rich and the ultra rich are financially independent, the not so rich like travel writers, are also financially independent because they understand how to manage their finances.

That is why they are among the happiest people on earth because they are doing what they love.

As Rolf Potts puts it in his book, “Vagabonding,” “The only real asset we have is time.”

And to piggyback on the statement, Robert Kiyosaki mentioned in his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad “Our minds are our greatest asset.”

So basically if we feed our minds with positive information and surround ourselves around people who are successful with their finances, then we can enjoy true freedom to live our lives to the fullest.
