Perhaps he has confused making money with freedom.

About This Quote

A person who is focused on making money instead of freedom is wasting their time. A person who is focused on making money is not doing what they love and therefore, not living the life they want to live. Money does not bring freedom. Freedom allows you to do whatever you want. You can choose to make your life about money or you can choose to make your life about freedom.
