A speaker argues that society trains us from childhood to chase paychecks and pay bills, turning us into what he calls financial slaves. He pushes back on this script and asks whether life has to be only about work and expenses.
Well, the reality of the matter is we're taught every single step of the way to follow the same script in life. Our parents teach it. Not their fault. This is what they were taught. They're just passing it on. We have the education system that teaches it. Well, I think there is a reason they teach that. But anyway, I can get— I'll get into that a little bit another time, another day. Society teaches and reinforces it, and we wind up living that space. And for a lot of people, they live that space for 40, 50, 60 years of their life. Just being a financial slave. Who thinks life's about so much more than working to pay the bills? Does anyone think that's true? Right, absolutely, yes.
