I'm probably only remarking on this above because of my own personal struggle with a desire for "freedom" and a false equivalence of money and freedom at some point in my 20s. I really believed I needed to earn more and I was a slave to that notion without realizing it. I grew up quite poor, and it took me a lot of years earning more money than I needed to realize the dysfunction that was occurring. I'm weary of it now, but having written that, I'm realizing that most people here and reading this article are likely well aware of this and the dissection of Sam's words is unnecessary.
