Law 36: Despise the Free Lunch

Nothing is truly free.

Gifts create expectations.

Favors create leverage.

Dependence creates control.

Power comes from autonomy.

• Be cautious of generosity with strings attached

• Minimize dependence

• Protect your decision-making freedom

True wealth begins when you stop trading freedom for convenience.
