I am free spiritually, and that is enough for me. I do not feel enslaved to the system anymore. I choose to ignore the trappings of that system in that I do not crave or want materialistic things. All I need and want is enough to be able to live, and that makes life much more simple and enjoyable. Most people make the mistake of chasing the money believing it will bring them happiness by buying things (I did this for 20 years myself). I am now using money to buy me time, so I can retire early with enough resources to live the rest of my life without worry and to ensure my family are taken care of
