Financial independence doesn’t need to be Instagrammable
Too many blogs that promote financial independence focus excessively on luxury items. However, it's a serious risk when you get addicted to consumerism. It leads to a cycle of earning more and spending more.

More money doesn’t always mean financial independence
More money doesn't mean you're financially free. Worse, when we earn more, we often have more problems.
Chasing after money means sacrificing other things, such as your time, friends and energy, so you may barely enjoy life.
Adopting a long-term mindset to building wealth means you don't have to be in a hurry. You can say no to "opportunities" that pay well but don't give you the life you want.
