I was sitting in church on Sunday and heard 2 great speakers discuss the concept of financial wellness. It being the new year, this topic is brought up quite frequently in churches.

It is quite interesting to me how it seems that everything temporal in this life ties directly to those spiritual. It is typically in the times of financial turmoil that people start to turn to faith and have to start looking towards something greater than themselves.
During the discourses, I heard a phrase that I thought was super important- Financial Freedom. I have been talking about a financial war which we fight every day, but not once have I named what it is we are trying to accomplish with financial fitness. That was it- FREEDOM! 
When I hear the word freedom, I think of the great country we live in and a slogan I have seen on bumper stickers, "Land of the free, because of the brave." Freedom has a price and requires sacrifice. I am grateful for those who fight for our country. Nevada Benefits gives quite a bit of money to the troops as well through defendingfreedom.org I am also grateful for the financial fight my parents have had to fight and have helped me win some of my own battles.
