Financial Freedom is More Than the Numbers

In order to produce the podcast and keep content up free for you, I work with partners so this post may contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure for more info.

Would you give up $4,000/month if it meant you had to change the way you work? Mr. Money Mustache did  it and not just theoretically. He was already making this money through a credit card affiliate program.

Long story short, MMM was making some solid income with his blog, but after he was contacted to change his banner as it was deemed as “inappropriate content”.

He either had to change his banner and possibly his credit card page to fit their criteria or keep his style and lose the income. He chose to be himself and lose that income.

I'm not casting the credit card as a bad guy here; I respect that they have their own rules.

What is Financial Freedom?

My focus is on Mr Money Mustache and how he's using financial independence in his life. 

He's demonstrating the true power of financial freedom. It's not about how much in the bank per se, but the freedom to choose how you work and in some ways how you live.  

Please read his post to the whole story – it's quite good and for bloggers, he shows the tremendous growth he's had with his site's income.

Kudos to Mr Money Mustache!
