“There are two types of freedom relevant to a rebel.

The first is inner freedom. This is the ability to enjoy your life and be free from hang ups, excessive fear, self-sabotage and limiting beliefs.

The second is financial freedom. Money chains you to the leader's and follower's world.

If you don't have enough of it, you have to work their meaningless jobs and, to a degree, abide by their stifling standards for social interactions and expression.”
