011 Is Financial Freedom Worth the Sacrifice?

Money makes the world go round - or so every shop, advert, bank and indeed politician would have you believe. And, when you think about it, money is a part of our every day lives whether we want it to be or not. That coffee at the train station (and the ticket you buy there), the food on your plate, the presents you'll buy at Christmas and the rent you pay - just thinking about all the ways money makes its way into our lives is exhausting. So in today's episode, we'll be discussing all things money, and what financial freedom means to us. Whether it's paying off a mortgage so you've got a greater ability to choose your career, or having more money to spend on life's luxuries we'll ask the question - is financial sacrifice now worth financial freedom later?
