So maybe I'll phrase this question as for you, what is your definition of time freedom and why is this so important to you?

I think that's actually the core reason why money and paying attention to our finances is important.

Understanding how money works and some basic management allows you to make use of it optimally for your career and your life to make those things better.

Basically, money is just a convenient way for us to exchange time and effort.

We give up some of our time and effort to make money, and we use money to buy that from others in the form of goods and services.

So the idea behind financial independence is really to have progressively more freedom to choose how you spend your time.

If your financial needs are provided by your portfolio rather than work, you can choose what to do.

So, Mark, I know you've been thinking the same thoughts and living a similar journey even longer than I have, but I just love to know how you think about all this.

Do you think it's, in general it's worthwhile, or what are the important caveats to think about in terms of incorporation?

Yeah.

I think it's important for you to understand when it's useful and when it's not, because we often rely on accountants to help us with this decision.

And when like f- this is an example of how things were definitely easier when I entered, went to practice.

Incorporation then had a lot more benefits than it does now, and those have been really kind of ratcheted back, uh, with various legislative changes against corporations.

So I don't think it's a slam dunk anymore.

There are some accountants who may think it's a slam dunk based on old information.

Um, what are your thoughts?
