A Path with Space


One path to superficial financial freedom is a bigger salary. That can open the door to borrowings because most loans are a multiple of income. Spend first, pay later. A deeper level of financial freedom comes at it from a different angle. Goals and spending. Pay attention to what you find fulfilling. Pay attention to the sources of joy and meaning available. Our lives are path dependent. Lots of our decisions are made for us by default. If we don’t choose consciously, life chooses for us. Normally we cast our eyes on those earning more. This means we miss all there is to learn from those earning, and spending, less. Price is just a clearing device. How much is there? Who wants it? Meaning a high price is a better indication of scarcity than value. If you can improve the skill of finding value in things that are abundant, you are on the path to financial freedom. If you can get a gap between your earning and spending, you can start to build capital. A deeper path to financial freedom is creating space to breathe. One step, inhale, another step, exhale, and repeat.

Find a Path
