Almost everyone craves for financial freedom, perhaps with the exception of those who are content with a stable, monthly-salary, secure job, working daily against the salary drawn every month. By definition, financial freedom is attained from sources other than your primary mode of occupation, and you don’t need to work to generate your income in case you’re financially independent.
