Ask the advisors: What does financial freedom look like?

In each issue of Thrivent Magazine, three Thrivent Financial advisors will answer a question that relates to finances. This issue focuses on what it means to have financial freedom.

“For me, financial freedom means you work because you want to, not because you have to. Also, since you’ve been a faithful steward of the resources God entrusted to you, you’re able to abundantly reflect the generosity poured out on you to those around you.”
—Michael Pyon, financial advisor, Virtual Advice Team

“Financial freedom means having the ability to live out your life’s purpose with your money. When we treat money as a tool and practice good stewardship of our financial resources, it becomes easier to realize the freedom that money can provide.”
—Brian Brooks, wealth advisor, Vista Point Wealth Advisors, Scottsdale, Arizona

“Having grown up in a large, impoverished family, feeling financially free was a goal that eluded me for much of my adult life. Only when I learned to lean on God and trust his providence for me did I learn to let go of my financial fears and embrace financial freedom. As I get closer to retirement, financial freedom means having enough guaranteed income to take care of my needs.”
—Luanne Gregory, financial advisor, Batesville, Arkansas
