What is Financial Independence? Why does it matter?

• Gives you the freedom to make decisions based on your own goals and values rather than being dictated by financial constraints.
• Reduces stress by ensuring financial stability.
• Enables opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• Offers security against unexpected events.
• Allows for planning and provision for future generations.
• Empowers individuals through discipline and confidence building.
• Ensures long-term financial security or comfortable retirement.

Understanding Key Financial Concepts

• Savings: Money that you set aside and don't spend immediately. Savings are typically kept in a bank account and are meant to be used for future needs or emergencies.
• Investments: Putting your money into something with the expectation of earning a return or profit over time. Common investments include stocks (ownership in a company), bonds (loans to companies or governments), and real estate (property).
• Budgeting: Planning how you will spend and save your money. A budget helps you allocate your income to cover expenses like food, housing, and entertainment while also setting aside money for savings and investments.
• Debt: Money that you owe to someone else, often with interest. This can include loans (like student loans or mortgages) or credit card balances that need to be paid back over time.
