Escaping the Money: How to Be Free Financially

Money controls almost everyone. Only in our youth are we partly free of it; and even then we see our parents struggling and obsessing with money. The house or apartment, car, and food add up to thousands of dollars a month. Perhaps we see our money controls our parent's lives, and see why escaping money obsessions are important.

There is no golden rule to being free of money, but this essay will present some strategies. We will explores choices in careers, how money can be an obsession, and how wasting money takes control of our lives away from us.

Careers are about money. We pay our bills and, inevitably, hate being controlled by them. Consider a career that allows you to be free from money. We will still need to be paid. But sometimes working the job that we hate will lead to the one we love. If we work under someone, the conflicts with the boss can hurt what we love-or make us loathe the job more. Often there is no choice for us. We can only make the choice to work for ourselves when it becomes financially possible.

On the better days, escaping into the work can be fun. A career that allows us to escape will also allow us to be free from money concerns. The bills will still be there but, not only can we pay them, we can enjoy the way we made the money. A career choice should be one in tune with money; not controlled by it. That youth job may pay less than dealing with adults. Deciding to open our own business instead of making money for someone else can be pursued. We are supposed to take some chances in life. Work for what you love or dream of doing because that is more important.
