Money is time, and time that is free to choose is more freedom to spend your time how you please, and work on things that may not need to have a financial half.

> more freedom to spend your time how you please

"More freedom" sounds amazing right up until the point you remember that you aren't getting a salary every month but still need to pay rent and buy food and stuff...

Pro-tip: use a portion of your freedom to exchange goods and services for money to pay rent and purchase provisions from Food & Stuff®.

Having enough money to live off (or interest) is the increasing freedom.
