How much of your personal life will you sacrifice for financial freedom?

[Japinat]

If you only live for the sake of financial freedom, I might say that even if you get it, you will not still feel the content and satisfaction you keep on longing. But if you live your life the simple way, without too much focused on money and the material things in life, you may not noticed but you are living your life with less hassle and stress, and that will make you genuinely happy and satisfied in your life.

The happiest people on Earth are not actually the wealthy people that are living in luxury, but those people who get to appreciate the simple things in life and celebrate in life even for small winnings and achievements.

Although when most people share personal information online, they try as much as possible to keep out sensitive information while most people do not care.
I want to know, even with risk involved, would you go as far as sacrificing your privacy to gain financial freedom ?

I think many of us here would not choose to sacrifice their privacy for making money online.
Being on this forum means we are involved with bitcoin and that means privacy is something that do concerns us.
So I don't think many of us here would chose to sacrifice it and I think nobody should do that.
We never know at what point someone might use that information against us.

You have said it all. Many of us here on this forum are already accustomed to this same privacy lifestyle you are talking about, because at first we are all bitcoin friendly here and it teaches nothing aside from private. So whenever someone is talking about something like giving out your privacy for a job, it would not even make any sense many of us because to us it is like you are asking the wrong people to have bring it up here. But I understand it is for knowledge purposes like every other discussions treated on this forum.

That's true, one of the purpose of Bitcoin is to ensure privacy and many people who love to keep their life private would make sure it remains that way, moreover they can still chase final freedom while living a private life or without reviewing their important informations online.

 Not when you can earn a living without sacrificing your privacy, luckily for me, I'm not in a desperate need for financial freedom that would warrant me to sacrifice my privacy for it.

[r_victory]

I don't think it's necessary to expose yourself the way many people do; I think you can be successful online without exposing yourself so much. There are influencers I follow who rarely show their personal lives, and when they do, it's in a way that still maintains their privacy. Some people exaggerate and do anything for a like.

That has been gone for a long time, privacy is not something that would be long gone by now. We have been doing KYC, so all your deposit into the crypto world and all your withdrawal from the crypto world has been noted by your government if they want to, usually they do not keep track of it, but if your name pops up as someone they should check, they could ask for it and test the info on you from all exchanges if they want to.

This is why privacy and moving money around in the crypto world as a method has been long gone. You can still do some style but it is not that common and we can assume that it is not the same. It's a tough thing to achieve but not an impossible one but many do not even do that anymore.

I wouldn’t agree fully with you on that, man..   I think happiness is not a fixed thing for everybody…  people are wired differently, and what makes one person feel happy and fulfilled might not work for another person..

I feel the message that people should not focus too much on money might sound nice, but if we are to be real here, money solves a lot of real life problems. Chasing wealth should not be made to look like something negative. If someone feels like building wealth is part of what will make them happy and fulfilled, then there is nothing wrong with going all in on it..

Yeah, I get your point about appreciating the simple things, and it is true… a lot of people who don’t have much still find happiness in life. But still, there are also a lot of wealthy people who are genuinely happy and enjoying their lives to the fullest..

It has to come down to the individual. Everyone just has to figure out what happiness means to them and go after it in their own way…

In our generation today there is a lot that of things people don't social media that doesn't really seem right to me but it's their life and you cannot tell others what to do. People create content to make money but some take it too far, posting somethings online just to get views and likes shows a certain level of desperation that you shouldn't be having. Posting about your things that should be private means that you are putting yourself at risk of being exploited in the future and this is something that you should do your possible best to avoid.

They can say it was their life and that we don't feed them but that was not an excuse for them to do unwanted things and continue on doing it. Social media owners should do something to combat those none sense or else we people on our right mind are now going to abandon them. Pretty sure they won't also like to end this way. If those retard people get exploited then that was their problem anymore, not ours and they deserve that.

But I think they won't care at all, at least for now. Financial freedom can still be attained without even trying hard and that is by investing a few amounts of money into Bitcoin. Bitcoin being decentralized is another factor for financial freedom.

Money and material things of life is not something we should focus much on as it is good but very dangerous as the love of those things is the beginning of problem. Most getting into problem today are in it because they prefer the love of money to the real facts of life, not that there is nothing wrong is seeking financial freedom but doing it at the detriment of other things is where the problem is.
Happiness is not only based on the importance of money and material things of life but dependant of what you have to offer when the time of transpiracy comes because it is our good works that can speak for us when the time comes and not the wealth we have acquired.

I also subscribe to smart people who prefer to hide their identity because they sometimes say harsh, albeit correct words and it can offend someone from the community. After all, if a blogger has a large audience, then someone will definitely find them toxic and angry, and they are trying to offend the author in the comments. And if the author is open as a person, he will hear bad words about his appearance and his family.
There are a lot of sick people on the Internet and it's better to keep them away from any blogger.

[Akbarkoe]

Maintaining identity is important, so even though financial freedom is tempting for many, giving up one's personality is one of the wrong things and it can have a negative impact on us in the future.
There is always a way for those who strive for financial freedom without having to give up very sensitive things like personal data, or other things that can be detrimental. Remember, the path to success does not only have one door. When we can look for it properly, I am very sure there will always be a way, so keep trying.

Everybody at some point in life have always dreamt of attaining financial freedom, even though majority of people don’t always achieve that dream. No matter how you want to live your life you will always need money to fund it. In the world we are today you need money to even achieve the big and the small wins to celebrate. We must not have it all but without money in one’s life, I don’t see how you will be happy.

You will feel like a disabled person and your voice not being heard without money. Wealthy people are happy people don’t let anyone deceive you. If you think that wealthy people are not happy people, why don’t they lose their wealth so they will become happy, if being happy was the intimidate goal in life.

Financial freedom may mean differently for each of us. To some, this might mean a little more luxurious while for some it just means a simple life without having to worry about money. But at the end of the day, whether you want to live more luxuriously or simpler, you still need money in order to live comfortably up to your standards.

if we are uncertain about our essential expenses and family responsibilities, it creates frustration in our easy way of living. Yes, money is not always the source of happiness, but even a small lack of money for living can become a cause of great anxiety. It is a sign of good mentality of those who are satisfied with little, but when it comes to basic needs, one cannot get by with little. Just as earning money is not everything, it is also not possible to lead a life without money. Every person should have a balanced goal in life to create enough money to live a proper life, which will maintain peace of mind and at the same time have the ability to enjoy all the small things in life.

Breaking news! You can be successful online doing faceless content. That is the new big thing in the digital world today.

The emergence of AI has made many people rich at the same time; it has also made many people lose their jobs, as they fail to learn how to integrate AI into the services they render. I would rather start a faceless channel than work for someone.

Money is something everyone is supposed to focus on to some level because money solves problems beyond your thoughts, with money you are able to solve your immediate and not immediate problems being it health issues and other social issues which are begging for attention. If you don't have money or look for this money, how do you intend to solve those problems yourself without begging any one of any assistance which is not guaranteed. As a man or a woman, especially a man, you must at all time look for money and I'm not necessarily saying you should hurt yourself in the process but don't give up looking for such money.

If you do not want to reveal your privacy to nobody you can switch to other content or other jobs online to continue your grinding without letting the world know everything about you, I do not support trading your identity for money neither I'm I against those who have choosen such type of content as their style and system of making money but I believe that my identity is best hidden cause it saves me from unwanted people especially in my country where insecurities is in a rise. If you can do other jobs online and make money then continue it not you can do different things so long as it doesn't affect you mentally.

Simple as it is but that's reality, for you to live a comfortable life you need money to cater your needs, though we do have different perspectives and view point about our intention and desire but everything depends from the money side of it, if you can have a good source of income and you are contented with what you are gaining, then you can proceed and choose which path you want to move forward and then cater the type of a lifestyle you want to live on.

I know this is possible; there are the so-called "dark channels" on YouTube, for example. But it's not valid for all businesses; there are companies where the leader needs to be visible to generate credibility and trust, just as there are entrepreneurs who are the "face" of the company and need to show themselves.

The topic isn't about making money, but rather about how much of your personal life will have to be sacrificed to achieve it.

I see nothing wrong with moderate exposure; I even think it's valid when an entrepreneur shows a day in their life and how they deal with company issues. It's inspiring for many who are starting out or have been on the journey for some time. What I find unnecessary is excessive exposure. Many go too far.

This is the problem, normally I am not a very sexist person, I think men and women are equal and we should all treat each other with respect and not different. However, one thing I can clearly say that every single men I know, works not to just live great or great life, but to provide for their families. Difference for example is that a single female would still work hard to be able to buy the great goods, bags, shoes, and go around the world on vacations, they will want all of that.

A single male would have one bed, one fridge, one tv, one pc and one couch, and he will call that a home and live there for fifty years. But men work super hard, while wanting less, because we have this natural desire in our brain, maybe from ancient times maybe not, but we all want it and it's global, where we need to make more money to provide better life to our family.

That is not a need. You are not going to be Mr.Beast, you can be the dude who makes hundred dollars to three hundred dollars from a single channel and have 8 channels like that and live a good life. Imagine finding a way to open up a channel, both on youtube and on instagram and tiktok etc, and then constantly share the same video in all three, from the same channel, everyday you make 2 videos and post them all three, and that makes you hundred dollars a month, and then you open up 10 of those, now you are making a grand.
