“Money is a great servant but a poor master.” ~French proverb

It’s no fun living in a financial bubble with no cash to back you up. I’ve been there and done that. Your boss and/or customers can behave like tyrants and you’re stuck, having to grin and bear it because you have a family to feed and a mortgage payment to make. You may never tell that customer or employer that acts like a jerk to go to hell. 

However, you have choices when you’ve saved up enough money. Options are very liberating, take lots of stress off, and allow you to keep your dignity. Some people in the world are so toxic you just don’t want to deal with them. “Go to hell” money gives you options. Options are another important part of the puzzle in “getting a life”.

“Liberty means responsibility. That’s why most men dread it.”  ~ George Bernard Shaw
