I also find is concern about wealth-building intriguing. Sure, everyone would like to have enough money not to have to worry about it ever again, but people -- either employees or business owners -- don't ever build true wealth in that sense. The idea that we should somehow be wary of that when it comes to freelancers strikes me as a bit absurd. Particularly considering that, if properly motivated and focused, wealth-building opportunities for freelancers are often still better than they are for traditional employees. Exactly.

The point, Scott, is not about the jobs that _WE_ create, it's about the jobs that _YOU_ don't have to create. Like Forrest said after Lieutenant Dan bought stock in that fruit company so they didn't have to worry about money ever again…

“That's good. You know, one less thing.”
