It's true on one level and false on another. You can indeed do many things that you otherwise can't but you have a whole new set of limitations. Wanna marry someone? How do you know they aren't just in it for the dough. Now you can't trust anyone. People become attached to money too, they become paranoid about people trying to take it and in the process, loose nearly all their freedom.

On the other hand if you have the head for it the ability to say, buy an island, own your own Gulfstream 5 or spend your days sailing the world on a custom built 60' cruiser.....

In short, with money comes power but power is not freedom. Alan greenspan is one of the most powerful men on earth but knowing if you mouth off you might cause a global depression must be fairly limiting.

Sometimes I think freedom is not giving a fuck about *anything*, family, country, money, possessions....
