Honestly? Being wealthy isn't about flexing a Lambo in the driveway or carrying designer bags everywhere. That's the surface-level fantasy most people sell you.
Real wealth is the freedom to live on your own terms. It's waking up and deciding you want to hit the gym at 2 PM on a random Thursday—without asking permission from a calendar or a boss. It's ducking into your favorite cafe on a rainy afternoon, nursing a coffee for two hours while the world moves fast outside the window.
It's the ability to actually cook proper meals at home instead of outsourcing every meal to delivery apps. Fresh ingredients, your own recipes, time to experiment. That's wealth. Spending intentionally on what brings you joy, not what brings you status. That shift in mindset? That changes everything.

ngl this whole "time is wealth" thesis hits different when you actually run validator infrastructure. like... yeah freedom matters, but have you factored in the opportunity cost of not optimizing yield strategies? the irony's thick.

Well said, really, no matter how much money you have without free time, it's all useless.
