It depends on where you build it from. If it comes from a desire to have the right to choose, it’s about strength. If it comes from a trauma of “never depending on anyone,” it’s about armor.

Financial independence is not just about income. It’s about allowing yourself to invest in yourself, making decisions that don’t need to be aligned with other people’s expectations. But sometimes we turn it into a burden: we carry everything ourselves, we manage everything ourselves, we are afraid to let go of control.

True freedom is having resources and being able to afford support. In finances, in life, in relationships.
