Probably freedom if you're in the top percentile of wage earnings or business ownership. Upper middle class NZ is poor. We moved to Australia in 2011 and discovered pretty quickly that you can live well, take holidays and save money (or stack sats if you're smart) in the upper middle class. Even regular middle class Australia does pretty well by comparison. 💯 What I say, after spending time in 'corrupt' Vietnam, is that all the countries in the world are corrupt. Some are just secretly corrupt and very sneaky with the ability to be able to hide the corruption. Other countries, like developing countries are simply more transparent corruption. 🤷‍♀️ It's the same with Freedom. Here we are in Vietnam. For us, it is very free. Much more freedom than being watched and checked by our home government. Yet for the people here, it is not as free. In Australia now, the government has pushed laws to make it ok for police to hack access people's private social media etc. I think NZ is on a similar page. 🙃 If we had been in NZ during the pandemic, we would have been in the minority of people refusing to be vaccinated, we would likely have had verbal abuse and coercion thrown at us. We would not have had the freedom we had travelling the world. ✈️ A freedom index is interesting. I wonder how they compile something like that and do they get feedback from freedom loving people inside the country? 🤔 Finally, I also think, one of my greatest lessons in life is that freedom is an inner work project. If you don't feel free, then you can never achieve freedom. Homebirth empowered me to challenge the non emergency medical system. Home ed empowered me to challenge systematic education. Bitcoin empowered me to challenge the monetary system. All of these contributed to me feeling more freedom than ever before ✨ Take all of this with a grain of salt. It's my current perspective and so many things I could be wrong about 😆

And wow. Sorry. I should know better... when the app freezes hit post only once 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜 Sorry 😬🫣

Huh. that is very interesting. Pretty much everything makes sense to me. but the first sentence. I for the most part dont see a connection between wealth and freedom. Is there such a thing? (possibly exclusive ro NZ if I get it right?)

As my country's central bank director said about inflation: "That just happens every now and then."
