Used to think money was everything. The more zeros in your bank account, the more successful you were supposed to be. But somewhere along the way that changed for me.
Now? I get genuinely impressed by people who have actual free time. Like, real freedom to do nothing, or do exactly what they want, whenever they want.
Because here's the thing—you can't buy back time. You can lose money and make it again. But those hours? Gone forever.
So maybe the real flex isn't the portfolio or the bank balance. It's having the freedom to choose how you spend your days. That's wealth.

Really, sometimes I envy those who can freely control their time more. Money can be earned again if lost, but once time is gone, it's gone.

Exactly right, really. I also believe that only those who can wake up naturally are true winners.

To be honest, truly wealthy people are more focused on spending time rather than spending money.

Really, free time is a luxury. If you run out of money, you can still earn more; if you run out of time, it's truly gone.
