Quote:On the other hand, reading about people like Burt Rutan or Steve Jobs, financial freedom is not something that they set out to achieve at the start of their careers but was something they got along the way in doing something they love.
Most of the people on this earth are unable to convert their interest to a career.
Some are blessed with talents that are not sought after.
So, in order to pursue interest that will not bring in any money, they have to choose a career that they can earn enough to make a living and pursue their interests during their idle time.
The main reason that people put financial freedom as their goal is simply because they want to get away from the job that they do not like and want to spend times on activities that they like but do not bring in the dough.
