Financial independence is when time != money.

don't understand? children can't turn time into money, it sounds wrong to call them financially independent.

Hi downvoter, I'm not going to increase my understanding of 'time != money' without some explanation. Could you please comment so I might learn something? thanks, --falsedan

I'm not the downvoter but I'm pretty sure the original poster meant that a financially independent person no longer has to exchange their time for money, ie they can choose whatever they want to do with their time and no longer have to work just for food/shelter/etc.
