every individual needs protection from every other individual in society. 

by that definition we all live with oppression (others using our time and energy to their advantage) or the risk of oppression in many forms every day.

Most of us instinctively know to defend our bodies from oppression, but we miss defending our financial existence.  

I don’t like being dramatic, and there are many worse struggles in life than gaining financial independence, but if we can fix many problems with the same solution then that’s a win.
