From the birth of a child, he depends on others to be cared for but, with the time when the child grows up and becomes a grown man, he can't be more dependent on others. From that time he needs to 'be independent life. In our society, one cannot be considered independent unless or until he earns.

 With the advancement of the internet, mobile phones and computers earning become easier than before. Internet brings a lot of opportunities to get independent life. This is the age where your pocket is your introduction. Your money in your pocket will decide your level of respect in other's eyes. We live in a cruel time where sometimes humanity loses its identity in front of money so, in this crucial time there is a great need to be financial independent.

Here independence means earning enough money to gain your fair level and status in society

But does it mean that to be financially independent one must be educated? The whole population of the world is not educated. Many poor and developing countries not even afford to give even primary education to their nation.

Let's discuss how a person can be financially independent 

Start the discussion with the people from different phases of earning levels.

Respect is the basic right of every individual and this right does not depend on any kind of education. Illiterate persons also have the right to give the same level of respect and protocol as given to an educated person. Still, unfortunately, the world does the opposite to this.

They give respect only to those whose wallet has enough money

There are five basic levels of earning according to physical and mental capabilities.

 

  1. Uneducated person/illiterate persons
  2. Government Employees
  3. A small-level business /with friends
  4. High-level business
  5. Freelancing                                                                                    
     Uneducated or Illiterate 
Be independent


 Now the question is how can an uneducated person get be independent? High education, the internet, freelancing, mobiles, and laptops are the invention of the 21st Century. Before these inventions, people started different kinds of work to earn and to be independent, like laborers. There are a lot of sources of independency in any profession. Labor earns little but this little is much for them. They do work with honesty and wholeheartedly, that is their true independence. They earn’ not beg. Although a beggar earns more than labor in day but labor has some sort of glory in work and earning while begging has just an insult to everyone and nothing else. Although a beggar earns more than a common worker, his earnings have no respect or value in society. Ethically and morally labor deserves more respect than a highly qualified person. He gives his blood and his sweat to his work and in return gets very little. It is a very sad reality that if they could not earn enough to live a successful life the cruel society treats them as neglected. They earn but are not independent in the real sense.

Now we come to the educated persons' independence.

Government Employees



Government employees are the people who are officially dependent but financially independent. They are bound to the orders of government. Government facilitates them very much. If we talk about vacations or holidays government gives according to the weather or conditions. Government Employees enjoy their leisure period with very handsome salaries compared to laborers who are bound to do their work without taking any break and get very little in return. If labor takes a break it will affect his earnings. He has to live without payment on the day of his break but a government servant is lucky enough in this sense he enjoys a full salary seven of his vacations or holidays or on any other casual leave.

Small-level business (Planning with friends or relatives)

Be independent by planning a small business


There are a lot of people who are neither uneducated nor do they get their government jobs. These should plan the business. Take a decision and start acting on it for this first they have to invest a little bit of time they will get the fruit of their struggle. The idea of a small business is best to be independent because sometimes the same small business converts into a high-level business and makes you a successful businessman.

 

High-level business


Be independent

 

High-level business is the stage where only the luckiest reach no matter by starting or developing from a small business, by inheritance or by investing in a large amount of money to establish this level of business, but once you reach to this point means you reached your real independence. This level is the key to financial independence. At this point  you are free from all kind of outside controls. Here you will get special protocol from society. Here you would be able to give financial support to others but along with these this stage demands a lot of responsibilities to maintain the level of business because here you will have a lot of competitors and you have to compete and beat them all with your strategy of confident. Here you have to be careful about your image and your business reputation. That is the point where you have to take care of all the matters which you were neglecting before. This is the position where you are the center of many critics. Some admire, appreciate, and consider you a model, a hero while others see you as a target or a competitor. This is the ideal stage for most the people.
