On: HN: you are guilty of premature optimization

I took the "money" option to mean, well, money, amd "Freedom" to mean picking one's own tools, projects, hours, coworkers.

I guess if you want to redefine any others, too, your case would be even stronger.

That's fair. I would still consider start ups as a form of financial freedom where instead of having no financial concerns to interfere with my real interests I use my real interests to offset my financial concerns. But, clearly the concepts are not as distinct as I've been making out.
