Therefore, I say it\u2019s a myth.<\/p>\n<p>Financial freedom consists of items you control. Thus, your goal should be to pursue financial freedom at all times.<\/p>\n<p>If you pursue financial freedom, financial independence will come.<\/p>\n<p>However, I know a lot of people that pursued financial independence and they are the most financially stressed out people I&#8217;ve meet.\u00a0 If you have millions of dollars but are still stressed out of your mind, how you are financially free!<\/p>\n<p>If you need help pursuing financial freedom, be sure to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\">new financial planning technology<\/a>.\u00a0 It organizes your money, allows you to build and simulate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/struggling-with-financial-stress\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"55\">financial plans<\/a>, then track your progress with ease.
