Best thing I found    freeing is realizing that I do not need the latest piece of    marketing crap. And why pay for someone to    dosomething?Whynot do it yourself so you    learn something thus when you save money int he future when    this same task comes around again. Plus when you do the job and    once completed and looks good,you also get a sense of    accomplishment. And why should I care Oprah is in the    grocery store or not????  <\/p>\n<p>    Freedom of travel--> Heck, the section even says you can    travel on a shoestring. I like traveling like this as yo see    more interesting sights and you meet more interesting people.    And I would suggest trying to look around where you live and    you might see there are some places that might be just as    interesting to go see like that of some spot halfway around the    world.  <\/p>\n<p>    Freedom to choose--> You can choose any time. Yes, it does    take some money, but the main thing it takes is \"guts.\" Yes,    you might succeed but you also might fail. Do your research (be    it online or at the library) and if you have enough money saved    up, go for it. Look at Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Steve Jobs,    Ralph Lauren, and a lot of other people. They all had an idea    and some did have money (and some did not). But they all took a    chance....  <\/p>\n<p>    Freedom of a good education--> Who says you need a degree    from Harvard to show you got a good education??? There are some    schools that give even better educations than what Harvard or    any Ivy League offers. Find a good schools you want to attend    due to they have great academic listings and go for it.  <\/p>\n<p>    Freedom to live longer--> Heck, my grandparents lived during    the Great Depression and they all lived into their 90's. Same    as with my parents. But they walked to get where they wanted to    get to, ate very fresh food (grown out of their garden), they    did not eat fast-food crap, and they had a healthy attitude    towards life. They were not interested in keeping up with the    Jones by buying the latest things. Yes,life threw some nasty    challenges at them, but they kept a level head and moved with    the flow of things.  <\/p>\n<p>    So I would challenge the \"author\" of this diatribe and point    out how some people who may not be as well-off (monetarily) yet    they seem to be very happy and content on how their lives are    going and\/or went.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>See the original post here:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/money.msn.com\/personal-finance\/5-ways-money-can-buy-freedom\" title=\"How money can buy freedom\">How money can buy freedom<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> What a crock of beans!!
