KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN TO ACHIEVE FINANCIAL FREEDOM

There's a saying that goes like this "Ignorance kills... it's like a virtual substitute for poison."
Ignorance can make one poor for life. I think one needs to move close to those that will enlighten one on how to go about things or make research yourself on some things that will make you overcome Ignorance to becoming knowledgeable.
To overcome poverty you also need to defeat ignorance, one needs to know what needs to be known else getting rich might just be a nightmare.

Lets take for instance when I don't know about Hive.

A lot of people has already taken advantage of the hive blockchain, and they're progressing already.
But when I also get to know about this life changing platform, that thing called ignorance was dying day by day and my journey to financial freedom started.
Because I discover that with hive you're not only making money but you're also investing and with that your money keep increasing on a daily. Some even make money without writing a post, some make their money through curation other people's content, some through HBD savings, some also make their money through buying and selling hive at the appropriate time, and other ways of earning on the blockchain.

Also I was getting out of my ignorance knowing what it means to stake your hive/ other tokens and powering up.

With this you're doing two things at a time, you're saving and investing. Some months back like when I just joined hive, I don't know the usefulness of staking hive or powering up, but later I get to know that with it you can do many things on the blockchain.
Through delegation or buying tokens like LEO, BRO, LGN etc you can start earning daily.

It's not good to be ignorant of things you need to know, I use to think powering up your hive and other tokens or having many HP/ other tokens is of no use, but I was very wrong. Now I wish I had as much HP as possible because there are many things I want to do with them. Of course have started powering up and buying tokens that might in future become something bigger.

With enough HP for instance, you make some money through curating content. With the right information and working on it, one can break the burden of poverty, and make your way for life.

Another saying also goes thus "Beware of false knowledge it's more dangerous than ignorance." Meaning as you want to defeat or overcome ignorance you should also beware of knowing things that can be of danger to your prosperity or ruin you.
