    I agree, the definition is a real problem. While still interesting the survey is pretty screwed.

    I thought financial freedom was being independently wealthy. Idle rich. Apparently I was wrong, it means working class but with some “bonus” money. Maybe still struggling but struggling less than most working stiffs.

    How free can you be if you still have to work full time?

      There is a point in income where you have the choice, the choice to move, the choice to switch jobs, the choice to leave your partner, etc.

      That is freedom. A lot of Americans are just stuck exactly where they are.
