Interesting blog. The article is a good reminder of common introspections on money. I like the points on freedom: "freedom-as-leisure (vacations)", "freedom in work", and "freedom in attention". TLDR: what is wealth _really_? probably it's freedom in attention. But there is some baseline survival threshold to get to, and that's much lower than people may realize.
Anyway, some constructive feedback if the author comes across this discussion:
1) The post is sooooooo long. I appreciate long-form content - I love Atlantic articles - so it doesn't have to be a 30 second TikTok clip, I just think it can be tightened up. A lot.
2) The illustrations lack their own context enough to be understood on their own. It's mildly annoying to look at them and have no clue what they express unless you read the before and after paragraphs. Consider adding enough context for them be self-contained.
That said, I appreciate your labor and signed up for your newsletter!
