We could argue semantics or find gotchas but at the end of the day getting paid 250K+ means that you can find financial independence very quickly, and that freedom becomes a choice attainable through some modest amount of diligence and planning over a relatively short period of time rather than an unlikely expectation. Having the most important resource, time, fully at your disposal is an immeasurable boon.

There are many counterarguments regarding work or maybe wanting to buy expensive things and whatnot but the choice is there and any highly paid person can figure out the planning part with maybe less than a week of research.
