That was beautiful! Being free to me means shrugging off the shackles of a society that is trying to enslave us to debt, to what is perceived as being the status quo, i.e., a 6 figure income job, a McMansion and a 4 car garage and every new gadget that they can send down the pike. That is not freedom, it is just another form of slavery, just as the claim for a need to indebt ourselves to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt in order to ‘live’ as they consider ‘living’ to mean. That is not my idea of freedom or of living, it is a Fool’s Paradise.
Thank you for posting this. It brought tears to my eyes!
