Ohhh this. Yes. You are sooo right. I get it on so many levels. Maybe it's my empathy that sways me to the economic side of freedom. It will be fun for me to explore this... born rich (but love poor), messed up my life badly, solo parent on welfare (felt free and happy at my worst economic time), rebuilt myself from the inside out, constantly striving for more... Found more freedom through my travels, but I cannot shake the feeling that I was so privileged and felt the (not sure if it was envy, jealousy or just misunderstanding of my life) growing up. I am going to play on all of this tomorrow because something in here is going to help me break through to my next level πŸ€©πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

That is very interesting. For me, it's kind of the reverse. By embracing economic freedom I am swayed towards more empathetic positions. Yes, the feeling of undeserved privilege is dangerous. I wasn't born filthy rich, but rich enough, that my parents did not have to take a loan to buy a second house when I was a teenager. It was exactly the feeling of undesired privilege that led to me making terrible decisions and eventually to me being homeless and struggling even way more than I secretly wished to. Even now, years later I am still paying for that. If anything said here today helps you grow in any way, I'll be extremely satisfied. :)
