Money's only real purpose is buying freedom to live how you want. The speaker uses wealth to design his calendar around his kids, his marriage, and hobbies. Time is the only thing you can't get back, so spending money to protect it is the whole point.
The only point of wealth is to build the life that you actually want to live. The way I tell people to look at it is actually, how can I use my wealth to create freedom? What I think about is, if I'm going to be making money and creating wealth, how can I actually use that to build the perfect calendar, to spend more time with my kids, to make sure that I'm investing in my relationship with my wife, to make sure that I have time for the hobbies and the things that I want to do? And what I find is when I invest in those places, now I have more freedom within my business. Like, what's the point of even working if I'm sacrificing time with my kids? Like, being dad is my highest value. Experiences are the only true currency that matters, and time is our only non-renewable resource.
