No. It's the key to freedom, which is just one part of happiness.
If you tie yourself to money and material shyt, then you aren't truly free, because then you don't own your possessions, your possessions now own you. There are people out there with only pennies to rub together who are enjoying life as free as fukk. It all depends on your perception and what you base your happiness upon I guess. While there's a homeless guy content to get his 40 ounce, there's a rich person committing suicide.

They preach that you should Do what you love & the money will come:yeshrug:..... Weezy said it best ' The money don't sleep, so the maker can't rest'
It is a long ass graft towards true financial independency.... The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorrow :wow:

I've always wondered how do wealthy/ rich people jeopardise themselves intogetting into such a FUKKED up predicaments with 7 figgas catching dust in their bank account :mindblown: Also another thing I find hard to understand is....day in & day out you read rags to riches stories & vice versa & think :banderas::wtf:.

Me personally, I know for a fact that I'd never EVER get into such a foolish predicament.... I don't dabble with recreational drugs or do alcohol....nor do I solicite with party junkies & fake wishing well spenders.. to put it simply I had this printed on a black Tee many moons ago during my O.G tax free days 'I don't smoke nor drink....got a different addiction though its called Kerrchiiiinnggg':youngsabo:

I didn't say anything about being tied to material possessions, the freedom I was speaking of is not having the constant stress of trying to make ends meet. You can be a zen master but if your kids are hungry, you're going to be worried; while breaking your back, trying to provide, which isn't freedom. And most of the time, that homeless guy isn't content with a 40, he needs that 40, so he can escape the reality of being homeless and temporarily forget about the circumstances that led him to that low point. I do agree that a lot of rich people are depressed but that doesn't mean they're not free.

nikkas Talking Bout Follow Your Dreams Like Life Is A fukking Disney Movie :deadmanny:
I know whenever people ask for advice from successful people, the haters gonna say "oh thats cliche" when they get answers like mine, which is follow your dreams. Sorry, but there is no magical secret to success. It's not a mystery, there is no such thing as luck or any get-rich quick scheme. It doesn't even take talent. In fact, talented people are some of the biggest losers, because they think just being smart or talented is enough, they try to skate off talent alone and they never put in the hard work. When unsuccessful people say yo thats bullshyt, i say show me the work you put in.

Studies have repeatedly shown that achieving goals has a more direct connection to happiness than just about anything.

Valuing money and what it can do for you is different than valuing material possessions. In fact, I don't think you can value material possessions and have a true value for money.
