I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us.

Support for Green Dreamer comes from our Green Dreamer planners that you can check out at

GreenDreamer.com slash shop as well as our listener patrons.

Thank you so much for supporting this independent show starting at $2 per month by going to

greendreamer.com slash support, sharing your favorite episodes with friends, or leaving me a rating

and review in the podcast app. I read them all, they warm my heart, they keep me going, and I really,

really appreciate your support. So thank you so much. Financial independence doesn't even

really exist, because all that money really allows you to do is become dependent on people you don't know

instead of being dependent on people you do know.

And this is why rich people are often very lonely,

because it means that nobody in your life is indispensable.

If you have difficult times with someone, you can just replace them with someone else

and pay them your money instead.
