Well the day I have the money to pit in deathmatch a midget riding a lawn tractor VS. a Russian bear on a tricycle I know I've made it to complete and total freedom.
It's a thought that is a little scary. Responsibilities keep us grounded and in check. Financially it would be great to be able to do whatever, whenever, but then I ask myself how much and for long I would appreciate it, before too much corrupts my spirit.

you never fail to impress me
however - freedom of thought and spirit are very important and dreaming can be an escape hatch to them
letting go of responsibility is sometimes so enlightening and rewarding an experience - unless of course, those responsibilities are kids as they never seem to let go - ever!!
It remindes me of the Gabriel lines - i became part of the scenery, so i waklked right out of the machinery
another one is roland orzibal -
incomplete if we ever stop we gotta climb that wall and reach the top more alive than weve ever been dont get your fingers caught in my machine take your time and take your chance dont be fooled by circumstance!
for me freedom would be living somewhere remote ans sunny,where i wouldnt have to get dressed,i could play piano in the middle of the night,and leave my paintings/easel up in the kitchen/lounge and not have to clean it all up before the kids got up in the morning!......but im working towards that!!!!
