True Freedom vs. Net Worth

If the market can force you to change your lifestyle, you aren't actually free.

Many high-earners equate 'Freedom' with a specific net worth. But if that net worth is volatile and illiquid, you are still acting under duress. You are still checking the ticker every morning to see if you're 'allowed' to be happy.
