I make more than I need and way less than I could. Nothing is more valuable than waking up and doing exactly what I want to do that day. Everyday.

No idea why so many people always aim for more money instead of more freedom

View on HN

Freedom requires security, which requires money.

But once you have enough, why aim for more?

You never reach 100% freedom and security. You only approach it asymptotically as you gain more money. So maybe for some, their threshold for "enough" is higher than you think. Maybe for someone else, they just haven't figured out what to do with the freedom yet, so they keep going and moving marginally closer to that 100% so they can better enjoy it when they do know what to do with it.
