Wealth and freedom—two things everyone chases, but rarely at the same time. The wealthy? They've got capital to burn, so they gamble it away pursuing true freedom. They can afford the risk. The poor have a different game entirely—they trade away their freedom, their time, their choices, just to put food on the table. Survival first, liberty later. But here's the thing: money is just a tool, a means to an end. Freedom? That's the actual endgame. It's what we're all really after.

You're right, but the reality is that the rich can gamble, while the poor have no choice.

Having more money can actually trap you; I've seen this happen many times.

No doubt about it, money is the chip that buys time.
