@travis.woo.trades: I don’t care much about material things. But I love money. That’s not a contradiction. Most of what money gives me has nothing to do with buying stuff. It pays for rent. Health insurance. Vet bills. Travel. Scuba. Flying lessons. Time off. Freedom to choose work I actually want. The ability to help people I care about. That’s what I value. Security. Freedom. Experiences. Optionality. Sure, I own clothes, a car, some dive gear, bikes, and surfboards. But I’m not trying to fill my life with possessions. I want money because it gives me more control over how I spend my time and who I spend it with. For most people, I think more money would improve their life far more through freedom than through buying nicer things. What would you actually spend more money on? #money #financialfreedom #minimalism #Lifestyle #mindset
