why is personal freedom important to me?
Freedom is at the very core of our society. For us to function as individuals, and for us to not only live, but to thrive, we need our own personal freedom. What forms does this freedom come in? It comes in the form of rights, it comes in the form of access, and it comes in the form of education. I, for my part, focus on the education aspect — mainly financial freedom. That is what this blog, the personal freedom project, is all about.
my story; from poverty to financial security
I, Henry Watson, belong to a family with a rich history of skilled craftsmanship. I’m proud of my people, for they provided a necessary service to those who needed it. But that was then, and now times have changed. And so I needed to change and not follow in the steps of my parents and grandparents.
I grew up quite poor, and that limited my access to opportunities and options that could’ve allowed me to reach my goals sooner. However, with grit and determination (and a lot of financial reading), I was able to stand on my own two legs. Now, I want to pass on what I’ve learned for others like me. I hope you find this blog helpful. Happy reading!
