Imagine, for a moment, that you are the person who is unrealistically rich, who no longer thinks about money and does not work for money, does not keep household accounts, does not count expenses and income, no longer need to plan purchases and save money on them, because you can easily get it all today. How? You are now, for sure, smiled, you were pleased, and you felt inner satisfaction.

This stone lies in the fact that such a person becomes accustomed to live this way and rather quickly, therefore, becomes a hostage to material goods and those things that he can afford thanks to money. Is it possible to call dependence financial freedom? At least - this is not logical.
