Why are people who achieve financial freedom always a minority? Because society's operation relies on the majority of people continuously creating value, not on living off asset income. Many people think that the core of financial freedom is making money work, but directly making money with money is precisely the hardest business. True wealth accumulation often comes from constantly moving upstream in the value chain. The existence of financial freedom achievers not only proves that this path can be successful but also attracts more people to keep moving forward. The significance of long-termism is not to guarantee success, but among all paths, continuously accumulating value, assets, and influence remains the most probable way to gain more options.
