I have my own house and land, no mortgage, no debts, very low expenses and a steady income that greatly exceeds my expenditures. I can buy pretty much what I want, but I don't want anything. Objects have almost no value to me. I couldn't care less about clothes, jewelry, cars, boats, summer homes, RVs, swimming pools, travel. None of that means anything to me. I think, I dream, I create. I don't know how much more independent I could be than that.
