I have a little analogy about this. I like to think of a dollar as a freedom chip. The more freedom chips that I have then the more dollars (money) I have. So by having an abundance of freedom chips will mean that I got alot of money. I know this sounds a little silly.

I don't think this sounds silly at all. In fact, I like it. I'm living off my savings right now, so I can appreciate the freedom-chip idea. I think I may add this to my vocabulary.

There are two lines in the above that give me pause:
1) Freedom is the ability to purchase what I want when I want
2) No one can tell me what to do
Big companies are trying tell us what to purchase every day. Having money does not make you free unless you truly learn to purchase goods and services on your own, self-actualized terms, and not as the result of a corporate media campaign.
I'm simply pointing out that financial freedom involves inputs (money) and outputs (consumption), and that true freedom generally involves both.
