I thing freedom should be over money at all time. The only time in my life where I have been very focused on money, was where I could see I could gain a magnificent amount of personal freedom within a short timespand. Just piling money for the sake of money, have never had my interest. The time spend on earning that money have always had to be connected with freedom. which means that I would rather have a pasport full up with stamps, than a perticular house, standard, car etc.
You don't need to be a billionair to be economically independent, but you need to focus your attention to gain the conciousness to uptain such goal. The good part here is, gaining conciousness is still free, they haven't taxed that yet. Money do not have more importance than, the people who believes in them. Its a fictional thing and it only have value as long as we believe in such "created out of the blue" thing. One thing is for shore, the monetary system is going to change rapidly within the next decade and let us hope that the current owners of money template/press, will be out of power when such change is fully implemented.
Great post
