I’m not sure if you understand what freelancer means. Freelancers make money from dong job for other people or companies. They sure can make their own games too but what makes them a freelancer is ability to sell their skills - they can make money. If they can’t they are not freelancers.
Normally you don’t start business without any money at all, but I’ve managed to do it twice and only one time it had to be done radically - moving back to my parents and working for half a year without weekends and any income. But it did payed off. My parents are rather poor than rich and most of my life I lived in Easter European country. But this is irrelevant, if you are serious about what you do, you can relocate your business somewhere cheaper. FTL devs started in China. Asked 10k on kickstarter and raised 200k, sold a lot of early access copies before getting on Steam. Plenty other stories like that.

And you trust everything you read on the 'net about how people claim to make money, right ?
Because it is so easy to get money and become rich, right ?
If you work on creating a game 24/7 for months if not years you can’t do any other job so you won’t have any income until your project is completed and you can sell the product.
