9 levels of HK's 'financial freedom': Where do you stand?
Financial freedom means different things to different people. For some, it's saving millions and retiring early, while for others, it's traveling freely and dining without checking the bill. A viral ranking chart circulating on social media in Hong Kong has divided financial freedom into nine levels — from "iced drink freedom" to "housing freedom."
Come and find out which level you are in!
Level 1: Iced drink freedom
No need to think twice about paying an extra HK$2 for an iced drink.
Level 2: Coffee freedom
You can easily afford Starbucks, Luckin, or Blue Bottle coffee without resorting to instant coffee.
Level 3: Cheap & budget flights freedom
Hundreds of HKD for a budget airline ticket? You can book it anytime and enjoy the "luxury" of flying on a shoestring.
Level 4: Restaurant freedom
Spending a few thousand HKD on a meal feels like pocket change. You eat whatever you want.
Level 5: Designer bag freedom
You can drop tens of thousands on a luxury bag, and the cost over the years feels trivial.
Level 6: Business/First-class freedom
Your time and comfort are worth more than the price. You no longer even consider economy class when you travel.
Level 7: Financial independence
Your passive income from interest, rent, or investments is more than you can spend. The more you spend, the more you earn.
Level 8: Manpower freedom
You can afford to hire anyone you want. If HK$100,000 isn't enough, throw in HK$1 million, and if that's not enough, make it HK$10 million or even HK$100 million.
Level 9: Housing freedom
You own penthouses and luxury homes worldwide. You can live wherever you want, whenever you want.
