Happy New Year to you all 🎉
This is undoubtedly an exciting year ahead. I wanted talk about something we all secretly want, Freedom. I chose to write about this when chatting with one of my wealthy friend about lifestyle creep.
As the old saying goes, "the more you earn, the more you burn." And boy, is that ever true!
The more you earn, the more your expenses tend to grow. Before you know it, you're splurging on things you never even knew you wanted (or needed). It's like a vicious cycle - the more you earn, the more you spend, and the more you spend, the more you feel like you need to earn.
I asked my friend how he keeps himself balanced and his answer changed my perspective on the matter. He said “The best ways to keep yourself from ever overspending is to GET FU** MONEY”
Wise advice indeed! His point was not to for me to start splurging in unnecessary luxuries as he’s a very down to earth guy, but he meant to illustrate a point about freedom.
What is FU Money and what does it get you?
"Fuck you money" is a colloquial term that refers to having a sufficient amount of wealth or financial independence that allows you to do or say what you want without fear of negative consequences.
Quitting a job you don't like, and working on whatever you want or not working at all
Unlocking boss mode in the “Game of Life”.
Freedom and Empowerment
Having fuck you money can bring a sense of freedom and empowerment, as it allows you to make choices that align with your values and goals without being constrained by financial concerns.

To a year of success 🎊
My only wish to you in 2023 if to get super rich and if you’re already super rich, then I wish you to find happiness and peace of mind. As we’ll see in RNW all throughout this year is yes money gives you a lot of option but doesn’t solve all your problems.
Money can only solve all your money problems but not buy you happiness.
