The main route towards financial freedom is planning. Nothing in life comes easy and hence some hard work is necessary, but this should be done in a smart way. It is the high time people realize that to achieve financial independence is a matter of having a positive mind set. With determination, planning and focus it is possible to be financially free in a short period of time.
The best thing is to start strategizing in advance by educating yourself. Read financial magazines and books. Have a wide range of books on various topics that would open your mind to new ideas on financial planning. Link with people who you can ask questions on how money works.
Learn how to balance your finances to make sure your expenditure does not exceed your income. Also balance your bank check book, in case it is hard to do it manually invest in software like Microsoft money or Quicken which are automated and very easy to use.
The most important aspect of financial planning is budgeting hence seek to understand your monthly financial statement. Having a money management plan will help you be in control of your cash rather than it manipulating you.
From where I come from, we have been brought up to think that employment is the best way to financial freedom but now I know otherwise. Apart from having a saving culture, it would also be advisable to invest in other income generating ventures like the stock market. With multiple streams of income you will have a fall back plan incase one stream fails.
