Daniel shows that he can live in the present and not worry about tomorrow, this gives a sense that you can truly live stress free if you live without money. They don’t say more money more problems for nothing. Another thing that Daniel proves is that you can live a good life even though you have no possessions. There are better things to value than money, like enjoying life and being free by not allowing money to control you.
