Akira The Don, Naval Ravikant - Maintain Your Freedom lyrics

Akira he's got clout
People who are living far below their means
Enjoy a freedom that people
Busy upgrading their lifestyles just can't
Fathom And I think that's very important
Like just do not upgrade your lifestyle
All the time to maintain
Your freedom And it just gives
Your freedom of operation
Once we make a little bit of
Money you still want to be
Living like your old self So that's
Just the worry goes away
So, don't run up and upgrade that house
Lifestyle and all that stuff
Let's say you get $1, 000 an hour
The problem is that when you go
Into a work lifestyle like that
You don't just suddenly go from making
Twenty dollars an hour to making
A $1000 and hour That's the
Progression over a long career
And as that happens one
Subtle problem is that
You upgrade your lifestyle as you
Make more and more money
And that upgrading of the lifestyle ups
What you consider to be wealth
And you stay in this wage slave traffic
So, I forget who said it
Maybe was Nasin Taleb

I think that's very important like just do
Not update your lifestyle all the time
To maintain your freedom
To maintain your freedom
And I think that's very important
Like just do not upgrade
Your lifestyle all the time
To maintain your freedom
To maintain the freedom
The way you want to get wealthy is you want
To be poor and working
And working and working
And this is for example how
The tech industry works
Where you don't make any money for ten years
And then suddenly in year-11 you
Might have a giant payday
Ideally you want to make
Your money and discrete
Lumps separated over long periods of time
So that your own lifestyle does not
Have a chance to adapt quickly
And then you can basically say okay now I'm
Done now I'm retired now I'm free
I'm still gonna work because you got
To do something with your life
But I'm gonna work on only the
Things that I want what I
Want is very much more creative expression
And much less about money
So, I forget who said it
Maybe was Nasin Taleb

I think that's very important like just do
Not update your lifestyle all the time
To maintain your freedom
To maintain your freedom
And I think that's very important
Like just do not upgrade
Your lifestyle all the time
To maintain your freedom
To maintain your freedom To
Maintain your freedom
Now I'm done Now I'm retired now I'm free
To maintain your freedom Now I'm done
Now I'm retired now I'm free
To maintain your freedom
