What IS financial freedom for you?

I'm curious what people consider financial freedom through real estate. Some styles of real estate investing are very hands-on, and as such don't really seem to meet the definition of financial freedom even if you get good at them. You'd still be very busy. So what are people shooting for? What kinds of portfolios are people trying to build that would meet their definition of financial freedom? Please share what you are working towards, and where you are at on that journey.

 I do not put the word "financial" in front of my freedom, I just call it freedom. For me its doing what I want to do when I want to. I still work, I run a company whihc I love doing and work 40+ hours per week but love what I do and if I want to take a day off, go to kids sports event or do whatever - I do.
