Why don't people get that?
To a person who wants to put all of the past away, and make a brand new start, to someone who wants to begin life anew and have absolutely nothing to do with their "previous life", is it not but natural to consider financial independence a part of the freedom of flight? Perhaps not so much because of the spending power itself, but because they don't want to listen to someone else's voice, even in the background?
When a person lives their life with somebody else's money, they are automatically giving that other person a say in their life. No matter how much you try to avoid it, your decisions are always influenced, to whatever extent, by what the lender might think. And no matter if its a loan, or a gift, money always changes quations in relationships.
If one feels obligated towards people, merely because a particular situation, is it not easier to avoid feeling that way by merely avoiding that particular situation? And to continue having a great relationship with people without the awkwardness of obligation creeping in?
Then why don't people get that?
