After Achieving Financial Freedom, I Became a Slave to Money

Despite achieving financial freedom and material success, including a 4x growth in his media production company and purchasing a Ferrari, the author feels increasingly unhappy. He reflects that his obsession with wealth accumulation and constant digital engagement has turned him into a "slave to money," leading to a loss of purpose and joy. The always-online lifestyle and addiction to social media notifications have left him in a perpetual state of anxiety, prioritizing metrics over meaningful work. To reclaim his life, he commits to three changes: prioritizing creation over consumption, dedicating focused two-hour blocks to single tasks, and digitally disconnecting after 7 PM daily. He emphasizes the importance of balance, mental rest, and reconnecting with core values, recognizing that the pursuit of wealth should not come at the cost of one’s identity and well-being.
