About This Quote

Any system was a straightjacket if you insisted on adhering to it so totally and humorlessly. The idea that you have to follow the rules is just an arbitrary set of rules. It is not something that was designed for your benefit, but rather something that people have tried to force on you. Fortunately, the world is not a perfect place.

We are constantly learning, growing, and changing. Sometimes, this means that rules are broken. For instance, money is only as good as the person who has it.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: money doesn’t make the man; the man makes the money. Anyone can be frugal and not spend anything they don’t need to spend and still be rich and happy (see: my family).
