> Dropping $5 you don't have on overpriced coffee is proving that it has no power over you. Buying overpriced stuff you don't really need with money you don't have has to be somewhere in the definition of "money has power over me". For me, to be truly independent means to not need money a) because you have enough and b) because you don't need to compulsively spend it. b) leads to a) btw.
