Wealth is freedom from:
• Negative people
• Negative thoughts
• Negative emotions
• Forced obligations
@EricJorgenson's Almanack of @naval says it best:
Wealth is not freedom to, it's freedom from.

Wealth is a calendar without recurring meetings.
Recurring meetings mean you're on someone else's schedule.
Empty calendars mean you're on your own schedule.

Wealth is the ability to say no.

Wealth is never waking up to a shrieking alarm clock.

Wealth is never asking for permission to go to my son's baseball game.
I don't have a son or any children (I hope)

Wealth is a fit body, a calm mind, and a house full of love.

Now for one about money.
Wealth is the ability to drop everything and go to a championship game your team is playing in.
Freedom to explore a new city, with people you love, on a whim?

I reflected on these this morning to see how many apply to me.
I’m at 4/10.
I was at 3/10 until this weekend, but I pulled the trigger on going to the Super Bowl.
