Ramit Sethi argues that financial freedom lets you stop policing small prices (e.g., at restaurants) and instead focus on higher-level priorities like your investment portfolio. He frames this freedom as the result of deliberate practice and systematic personal-finance systems that work automatically so you can live a "rich life."
Too many of you are playing small for your entire lives when it comes to money. Can I tell you one of the best parts about having a lot of money? It means that I don't need to look at the prices when I go to a restaurant. Immensely freeing. And that happened through practice. That means that I systematically elevated myself from looking at the price of chicken to moving up and saying, what is my investment portfolio? That's what I want for you. Whether it's restaurants or travel or kids activities. I want a system that works when you're asleep, when you're on vacation, when you're eating at a restaurant, living your rich life.
