There’s no perfect one-line journey to wealth and financial freedom. We all come from different backgrounds, families, and places in the world. Some people are born into this world with more wealth than others.

In other words, most of the wealthy situation we’re initially placed in is outside of our control.

If you come from a family of poverty, or even just below-average wealth, it’s easy to feel a sense of jealously when you see your peers who were born into wealthy families. It feels as though they’ve been given a head start and a better opportunity to have financial freedom.

You see your parents working hard to get ahead, but it just appears to be an endless treadmill where money is a constant ignitor for family stress and arguments.

If you grew up this way, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that, like your parents, money will always be a struggle for you, and reaching the goal of financial freedom just isn’t realistic for you.

The truth is though, you do deserve to be wealthy. Everyone deserves it. But if you can’t even consider it a possibility in your life then it’s unlikely to happen.

To help get you started, I have described some actionable steps you can take to create a more realistic vision of how you can achieve financial freedom in your life.
