A man can bust his ass working in a job he tolerates simply because he gets paid well. This is completely understandable. Financial freedom is a goal I think we all have at some point in our lives. It isn't until we get older that we realize just how awkward and often wrong that mentality truly is in life. The reason I understand it is because we were all taught what it means to be successful. The foundation of that learning was and is the acquisition of money to buy nice things, to separate oneself from the crowd, to be special and/or admired. But the thing is, money is just a tool. It really only brings debt. This is its design. Debt cannot be avoided and for the average man, debt is something to crawl out from under each and every month... hopefully with enough money left over for necessities like food and medication. And if a sudden illness or accident comes into play, this will of course affect work and hours at the job. For many folks, this is enough for termination with no regard for the employee or his family. It's just business. And yet through it all, through all the people that have and those who have not, everybody ages and everybody abandons their bodies at some point and moves on... without the money and things it bought. Because in reality, time is the real winner. And time should be spent doing the kinds of things that bring one joy. What does not factor into this equation is working strictly for the money. Basically, what this does is place a number on people. People with numbers have no life. Their life is only a number and their pockets are full of numbers with faces on the front. The funny thing is, a significant percentage of people with expendable income have it because they inherited it. And what do they do? They buy stuff which all just sits there. If they don't show it all off, it just sits there... and even then it all just sits there.
