Joe Rogan’s Definition of Financial Freedom
During a recent interview with actor Josh Brolin, Rogan discussed his relationship with money.
“What I like about money is to not think about it,” Rogan said. “That’s what I like.”
He does admit that he likes spending money, but wants to spend it on “fun stuff.”

“I like buying stuff,” Rogan said. “I have a nice car. I drove here in a ’69 Camaro. I like fun stuff, but for the most part, I’m not interested in [money] as a goal.”
For Rogan, financial freedom means not having to think about money.
“My friend Brian Count said this to me once. He said, ‘Real freedom is when you can go to a restaurant and not worry about what anything costs,'” Rogan said. “He’s like, ‘Everything else is bulls—.’ And it really is.
“When you can just go to a restaurant, get a nice steak, order a bottle of wine, have a good time and not think about the bill that’s [what financial freedom is].”
