In this post, I am not going to write about what is financial independence means and what we should be doing to be financially independent. You can find this information from other blogs. There are plenty of financial blogs explaining how to achieve financial independence. I will write about what I think when you are financially independent based on the lifestyle you lead.

Life Style of Financially Independent Woman
1. You are happier
The first thing you will notice is that you are happier than when you are not financially secure. Now that you concern less about money as you are debt-free, worry-free about money, you are content. You don’t owe anybody any money. If you do, it’s your choice. This happens mainly because you want to get the tax deduction or own a business, and it’s a better way to do business.
2. Financially independent; you are no longer look at the price tag
This is a biggy. In my opinion, when you are no longer concerned about the price, that means you are financially secure. It is not what price that you have to shop for; it’s what you want now. You can get what you want without looking at the price tag.
When you go to the restaurants, you simply order what you want to eat. When you go shopping, you buy what you desire, do not have to select through prices, and select the best value that you can afford.
3. You control your time
When you know you control your time means you are in a position financially independent. You are no longer tied to what time you have to be in the office and what time you have to be off. How you want to spend your time is up to you.
4. You spend more time for yourself
When you have money to generate money, that’s what makes us worry-free about money, and you will notice you can spend more time for yourself. Naturally, you want to take care of yourself for physical and mental health. Therefore, you will see you spend more time on your well-being.
You will go to the facial, do yoga, exercise, spend more time on the hobbies you neglected. You don’t have to worry about working to generate the income, and it already works on your behalf. So, you spend more time taking care of the most significant asset, you.

6. You contribute causes you care about
There are many lifestyle changes you will see when you are no longer concerned about finance. One of the things, I believe, is that you will want to make a difference in areas you care about.
You will contribute money, or you may spend time to make a change. In either way, when you are not concerned much about money, your interest and priority will change, and this will be one as well.
7. Experience the continous changing lifestyle
Once you achieve financial independence, there comes much-privileged access. You are more likely to be able to invite to investment opportunities. You will meet other successful and financially wealthy individuals to learn and share from. As a result, your lifestyle will continuously change. Your thinking will evolve.
Moreover, you are no longer think like an employee. You will feel like an entrepreneur. That will bring more opportunities as well as more prosperity.

And given society, even though it’s 21 century, the woman is still at a disadvantage when it comes to money; therefore, achieving financial independence is maybe harder than males. However, it still can still be achievable. It is an accomplishment.
