> Whether or not money can buy happiness, it can buy freedom

This is true outside of your work but not so much during it:

- when you makes lots of money you feel less free to resign than for a shitty interchangeable job. It’s even more true as the shitty job has less chance to be intellectually interesting

- building your own business usually means you’re even less free mentally as you got more responsibilities

- if you’re got employee it’s even worse : you’ve got more legal obligations and probably moral implications.

Money can buy a lots of thinks but certainly not freedom.



It gave me the freedom to buy whatever monitor I wanted and cart it into work. Forget the 19" dell everyone else is stuck with! :)
