It's nice to be financially stable

...because time is more important than money in most instances IMO. But it can also be one of those chicken or egg thing too when it comes to what you value more (time or money)...  :

This man became financially independent at 36 and says the key to happiness is ‘owning your own time’

Chad grew up watching his father flip properties. Now, thanks to those lessons in real estate, he’s financially independent, managing rental units and living life on his terms.

The 39-year-old landlord, who was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, reached $1 million Canadian dollars, or approximately US$791,000, in 2019, though he felt he had reached financial independence even sooner. That year, he left his full-time job. Along with his real-estate investments, he invests in the stock market.

Time is money and money is time because it’s still the way of the world. Your time can’t be duplicated so time would win by a huge margin for me too.
