When I first started out on this journey towards financial freedom, I was focussed on living within your means, saving and investing as well as growing and protecting your means.
These are still the pillars behind my strategy to achieve financial freedom, but I forgot to take into consideration the big picture, the why and reason for doing so. My lack of big picture thinking led me almost to miss the forest for the trees as I was putting my gaze only on the trees i.e. the hows of financial freedom without fully thinking through the whys.
What do I mean by all this?
