Great post. Anyone that says money doesn't matter, don't understand the idea behind money. Money is supposed to be viewed as a tool to reach freedom. Money gives you the ability to do what you want in life and when you want to do it. This is the reason why financial freedom blogs and their following is growing. Why would you want to spend the prime years of your life working for someone else? Create something that is yours and that will assist you with living the life that you want.
Exactly! I wish more people would think about this. Pretty much every friend I've shared my thoughts with look at me with eyes that say "wooow, never thought about that. You are right!". It is a very simple thought, yet no one seems to take time to really rationalize about it and society.
