It's great when you live within your means...
But it sucks when you dream within your means!
I cannot tell you to dream big just because it's free.
That's not how it works...
Your dreams are usually only as big as the world that you occupy, and for many of us here, our worlds are neither that big nor full of potential.
Many people are not actually stuck in the rat race, but are more like fish that cannot tell the difference between being in a bowl, and being in the ocean, as long as they're submerged in water, anyway.
But...
You can train yourself to dream big.
See big.
Think big.
Experience/gain wisdom.
The common advice that rich people give is to travel, not realizing that it is a thing that people in very privileged positions (country/social class because of passport advantages and local currency power backed by slavery/exploitation of former colonies) easily take for granted as given, while people who are not as privileged dream of travel without actually understanding that it is within the realm of possibility.
They're not wrong!
Traveling is the easiest way to open your mind, and for some, allow you to make that leap towards having the entrepreneurial mindset.
But how do you travel if you are poor, and if every other country requires you to have a visa to enter them?
How do you travel during these times when you probably shouldn't even travel?
Enter read.cash (and to a considerable extent, the source of the first draft of this post, noise.cash).
You now have the opportunity to travel by making friends with people from all over the world through this site.
You're even given an incentive to do that--so much that people start to feel like they're working through this site.
Take advantage of it.
Ask!
Ask people about how they handle the things that you may take for granted.
Ask them about how they budget, how they acquire knowledge, how they ration their meals, etc.
That's how you grow:
Without taking away
Without falling into debt
Without being required to leave your home and loved ones just yet.
