It's funny, sometimes we think our kids have TOO much freedom. They are in a montessori school, so right off the bat they have much more freedom than most kids in a standard school in terms of what they learn and choices throughout the school day. Then at home they are free to explore and take part in anything that interests them. We don't limit the activities because of money - they are in soccer, theater, gymnastics, hocky, rock climbing, painting, and more. When they're not glued to a screen - they have so much free time.
