There comes a point when you need to stop building your empire and start enjoying it. We strive for wealth because we believe that the freedom and choices it brings us will make us happy. But if we never end up enjoying it, what was the real point of chasing it in the first place?
There are some people in this world who turn their backs on money and do what really makes them happy. Pat Tilman, the pro foorball star turned soldier, is a primary example. He walked away from millions to serve his country and was killed in Afganastan earlier this year.
Having financial freedom simply gives you more choices in life. It can't make you happy. Only you can do that.
