"You can enjoy your life right now. You just need to spend less money on shit that you don’t need."

But it's the shit I don't need that ads to the enjoyment of my life.

In the short run, but for every dollar you spend, you give a bit more of your own freedom away.

That's an entirely reasonable trade-off. Freedom may be the destination but there's no reason that the journey has to suck.
