You buy a car for transport, not to live at the gas station. Likewise, you earn money to access essentials, not to live at the shopping mall.

Fortune without love is sheer curse,
For life’s true blessing is love alone.
Live to love and love to live,
With this as motto all good is honed.
They say you can’t live on love alone,
And indeed it’s true to its factual core.
But green of dollar without green of heart,
Grows on us like toxic mold.
Too much of dollar can kill a person,
Just like too little causes starvation.
Use money like you use your car,
To go places, not to live at the gas station.
Put love and life above all else.
You’ll know what’s sense, what’s nonsense.

Financial freedom doesn’t mean,
To be free from money troubles.
Financial freedom actually means,
Freedom from obsession of dollar bills.
When the mind learns to distinguish,
Between luxury and actual necessity.
That’s the beginning of financial freedom,
That’s the beginning of economic stability.
Modern economy is the antithesis of sustainability,
Where financial freedom is bait to the suckers.
Actual necessities of life are very little,
But first you gotta break free from the predators.
We gotta wake up from materialism to be free.
Or else, scheme after scheme we’ll be ever unfree.
