Money does not directly equate to happiness; rather, it serves as a tool that can facilitate a fulfilling life.

I explore the nuanced relationship between financial resources and personal well-being, emphasizing that while it is essential to have our basic needs met, happiness often stems from experiences and the goals we pursue. I've shared my own journey from living paycheck to paycheck to understanding the importance of saving and investing, which allowed me to gain financial stability and time freedom.
