Ahh, just hire some lackies to fix what needs fixing. I have plenty of freedom and can go wherever I want whenever I want. For all my properties I just give some goofball a free place and small salary and he does all the fixing. Sure, you get the odd one that robs you blind and you have to fire him and hire another, but that's life. (seriously, thats happened) I have a business to run anyways so "freedom" is what ever money can buy when you get sick of it all and just need to get away from it all. You sound young so if you want to live a little before making your fortune there's nothing wrong with that. Fortunes need to be managed and that takes away a lot of that freedom. I not sure if you can ever get that kind of freedom back either; because when you get my age and think about slowing down, selling out some stuff and retiring somewhat, what are you going to do? I already do all the hunting fishing and traveling I want, work is pretty much something to do. Enjoy your freedom while you can I guess. You can always work till you die later if you've got that part covered.
LOL!

What a great post.
Of course, your post is illustrating the crux of the issue here--it's about the freedom to choose. Some of us are hassled by certain things that others aren't bothered by, some of us make enough money to have a house AND the freedom to leave and wander whenever we want.
It's all about choices, it's all about doing what we like.
That's why I am so high on America. I have talked with friends from Britain, Turkey, Ireland, the Middle East, France, etc. and I simply do not find the variety of lifestyle choices outside the US that I find here.
