I don't want to sound naive but I have been reading that people often put financial freedom as their goal. But is that correct?
What I am saying is whether financial freedom be the end goal or should just be a by-product of doing what you love? This is because I have read a few of the threads here and those who have reached that goal in their 30s have done it by doing things that they themselves admit is something that they won't do for the rest of their lives and they want something better thereafter.
On the other hand, reading about people like Burt Rutan or Steve Jobs, financial freedom is not something that they set out to achieve at the start of their careers but was something they got along the way in doing something they love.

You can count on the greed of man for the next recession to happen.
