Financial Asceticism vs Financial Freedom

[MJ DeMarco]

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7cQLDdWniM


Over the next coming months, I hope to transcribe The Great Rat Race Escape 's audiobook into a pictorial / animated form over at YouTube.

The above is the first installment, which ties in nicely with this prior forum thread on the FIRE Mindset.

It touches on the difference between TIME freedom, and FINANCIAL freedom. They are not equal.

My gripe is not about how people choose to live their lives (none of my business!) but about culture/media redefining terms to suit narratives.
