Comfort, Peace, and Freedom as goals

[Timothee22]

The idea of comfort, peace, and financial freedom is a common goal for many people, as it provides a sense of security, stability, and fulfillment. However, what constitutes a fulfilling life varies greatly from person to person, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

I agree with comfort and peace. However, I would like to substitute financial freedom for independence. Independence encompasses more than just finances. You are free to make your own decisions and strategies without being pressured by others. As a result, you live a stress-free life.

I agree comfort, peace, and financial freedom are important goals. But if you don't have a loved one to share it with, then what is the point? It could be a friend, a good neighbor, a spouse, a family member, or even just a loving pet who welcomes you home with selfless joy. So, I believe having a good relationship with a companion is just as important.

Different people have different goals and it is not quite right to generalize them. Some people may want other things too along with the said goals. Others may already have them and want completely different things. So, it varies.

In this present day of so many chaos, I think a lot of people, including me, would give anything to have peace, then topping it up with financial freedom is a dream come through. I don’t see any better goal.

In Blue Collar Cash the author shares at the beginning of the book that "a life of comfort, peace, and financial freedom is the ultimate goal." Do you agree with the author that this should be one's ultimate goal, or would you substitute some other goals instead?

I love the author's ultimate goal. One of my goals is to gain financial freedom. But I substitute the two, for me, it would be Love and Health.

Freedom (in general, not only financial) I agree entirely. However, comfort and peace are extremely subjective concepts. What gives you peace? It could be lying on the beach, watching TV, reading a book, or playing with your dog. What gives you comfort? A warm bed, a warm meal, or drinking every other night? We cannot measure other people's goals, because we are not living their lives.

Great point. The aspect of relationships being a fundamental part of happiness seems to be missing in the list of fundamental goals. Thanks for pointing this out.

I like that broader definition as well with the idea that independence can encompass financial freedom, but other freedoms as well. That's a nice build on this idea.

[Zainab Wasif]

I agree that these goals are important in one’s life but there are many other things as well. Human wants and desires keep changing with their circumstances and as they age. What might seem like my ultimate goal today would not longer be the same ten years down the lane. When I start my career today, comfort, peace and financial freedom might be my ultimate goal but then ten to fifteen years later, my goals and priorities would be different altogether.

[Medina Fedrick]

Well, I agree with the author on this one, comfort, peace and financial freedom should be the goal.

Striving for comfort, peace, and freedom is a worthy pursuit that can enhance overall life satisfaction.
