MODEL OF FINANCIAL FREEDOM ACHIEVEMENT BASED ON APPLIED PHILOSOPHY AND LIFESTYLE A SEARCH FOR AN ICON OF FAITH IN PRACTICAL LIFE

Abstract

Mekar Mukti, Sertajaya ,Pasir Gombong and Simpangan are four big villages in Jababeka industrial and residential area with more than 70.000 residents and 1.400 companies which function as supportive area to Jakarta city, Indonesia. Growth of facilities, infrastructure and new comers increase jobs and societal income. Ironically the increases of jobs and financial income do not necessarily bring about financial freedom to people. There are still many people who live in poverty and cannot achieve the financial freedom yet. This research is therefore intended to analyze deepest conceptual causes of such a condition and to contribute a new model of financial freedom achievement based on applied philosophy and life style. The research uses philosophical approach to analyze and synthesize ideas in the discourse of financial freedom. Accordingly, some applied philosophical principles are needed to build mindset, pattern of thought, action orientation and lifestyle toward financial freedom achievement. As a conclusion, action as a culmination of human thought is perceived as an icon of faith in the practical life. An individual comes out from himself and expresses his expectation, hope, trust and spiritual aspiration into decisions and necessary actions to achieve financial freedom
