To me financial freedom is having more options available to you. It’s making choices that are dependent on what you want rather than what you just need.

In reply to Mrs. Maroon. Spot on. It's having the choice.

I think financial freedom is the ability choose how I spend each and every day. I’m not tied to working for someone else. I can choose to sleep late or get up before the sun. I can put forth my effort towards earing money or towards working on a hobby. In the end, I have the choice to do what I want. And I think that brings true happiness.

In reply to Justin @ Root of Good. Yes. Flexibility is definitely a part of it - and if we love our jobs then we can stay or go once we reach FI. It's being able to make the choice.

I think you have it well-defined here, Emma! I would add one word. Flexibility. Once you don’t have to work, you aren’t tied to a schedule or a particular geography. You can do anything you want, even paid work if it suits you.
