Is money a tool for freedom in today society?

Majority people walking around us. I am having a guess of probably 99% of all people. To a certain degree being held hostage due to personal finance. From daily necessity to luxurious items. Almost there is never an end. Thus, many will probably agreed that money controlled us. But until when and what number that you will probably think is enough? Try ask people that around you and able to share with you. You will probably get many different answers. Perhaps, going back to basis that if you can just live with it, any financial status… that’s may be the only time you will got freedom in life.
