大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【财务自由】的话题。
这几年财务自由这个词非常流行，很多人的生活和工作目标都是实现财务自由。那么，财务自由到底是什么意思呢？很多人觉得财务自由就是有很多钱，想买什么就买什么，想不工作就不工作。我发现，很多人希望财务自由，最主要的原因是他们觉得工作太累了，不想工作了。如果可以实现财务自由，那么就可以不工作，提前退休了。
还有一种人是，他们希望实现财务自由以后，可以去做自己喜欢的工作。现在的工作是为了生存，可能他们并不喜欢，但是至少为他们提供了稳定的收入。他们喜欢的工作赚不了什么钱，如果冲动地辞职，去追求自己的兴趣爱好，生活都是个问题。所以他们选择忍耐，先努力工作、攒钱，希望有一天可以实现财务自由。
财务自由有一个比较专业的定义，指的是“除了劳动所得之外，我们的一些被动性投资收入，可以每年完全覆盖我们日常的全部支出”。这里强调的是被动性投资收入，例如基金、股票等。例如你有五百万的存款买了基金和股票，每年达到10%的收益率，那么即使不工作，你一年也可以有50万的被动收入。如果你一年的支出不超过50万，那被动收入就可以覆盖你的日常支出了。当然，投资有风险，实际情况可能没有这么理想。
对于每个人来说，实现财务自由所需要的存款是不一样的。有的人觉得500万就够了，有的人觉得5000万都不够。这个和每个人的消费习惯和消费水平有关系。中国有句老话叫做“钱不是万能的，但没有钱是万万不能的”。有钱不一定幸福，但是没有钱过基本的生活，也很难幸福。特别是生病的时候，更能体会到钱的重要性。
你觉得拥有多少钱才能实现财务自由呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
