Short excerpt from a YouTube video ("Wealth vs. Character" by Will Humphreys) in which the speaker worries about raising children who become selfish despite wealth. To counteract that, the speaker and spouse aim for not only financial independence but also time and location independence to create an "independence of purpose"—so they can raise children with good character, contribute to their community, pursue enjoyable work that builds value, and travel (including outside the U.S.) to foster empathy, character, and gratitude.

And one of the concerns that I have is raising a couple little jerks. Right. I don't want to raise kids around wealth and opulence and then grow up to be bad people. Yeah. Because of that. One of the ways that my wife and I would like to offset that is having a life goal of not just focusing on financial independence like we did before, but by focusing on financial time and location independence to create an independence of purpose. And with that purpose, we would like to raise good kids. We would like to be good members of our community. We would like to do things that we enjoy, continue to build value, and we would like to travel, because I think travel outside of where we live and travel outside of the US Is the best way to create empathy, character, and gratitude.
