Quotes to ponder:

"Financial independence isn't life, it's just a tool you can use to help you live a life that's most meaningful to you."

"It's a means to an end, not the end itself."

"I want to learn and improve my skills so that I can create things that have a positive impact on my life and as many other people's lives as possible."
