There are many benefits of being financially independent:

• You have no worries if you are out of a job.
• You have no worries if you are unable to work for health reasons.
• You don’t have to go to work if you don’t want to. Have you experienced weeks or months when you couldn’t stand your bosses or subordinates? When you feel what you do in the office is just to pay the bills?
• You can do what you want with your life. Enjoy your spiritual pursuits or travel, be a doting parent or grandparent, study or just relax.
