Never expect luck by chance without put any effort...as my friend told me "No free lunch!" :) What I believe is a good business which can give us enough money should be built with your time, effort, and even money itself.

That remains to be seen. But people can put strategies into play that can and do move them closer to the ideal, no matter what semantic is used to describe it. You might want to spend some time and think about what you write. Your issue is with semantics and not a state of being. Nice try, though. Keep practicing. “I don’t think anyone can ever fully achieve a state of harmony.”

I'm a bit torn by it. I feel what your saying but I think when the term financial freedom is kicked around, the gist of it is that if you're making good money (whatever that number may be) you have a lot more freedom to do things that you enjoy. Yes even the rich do work in some capacity but you have a lot more time to play when you have achieved "financial freedom". No one will ever be free of the need for money. We live in capitalist society so by definition we can't ever be free of money and its constraints. However I would argue that Financial freedom is when you've amassed so much wealth that you're not consumed by acquiring more of it. It may always be top of mind but when you have achieved financial freedom you're not a slave of the dollar. Now is a $39.95 ebook from clickbank going to help you achieve this? Hell nah! But some hard work may. Eddy Interesting post! I’m a bit torn by it.

I don't think anyone can ever fully achieve a state of harmony. I do like financial peace better, but the stress of money is always going to be looming.

As a definite subscriber to the philosophies of Dave Ramsey, I would put forth the ambition to have financial peace. To have financial peace you don't have to be rich, you don't have to have a lot of things - content with what you have and not slaving to pay someone else for money you didn't have to begin with. I realize more peace on a daily basis as we get closer to that day where my family and I aren't hindered by the stress of finances.
