The Lock-In Is About Freedom, Not Restriction
In a way, The Great Lock-In reminds us that freedom doesn’t always come from spending — sometimes it comes from not spending.
It’s about regaining the upper hand, rewriting the story where money works for you instead of against you.
And even though it started as a viral TikTok challenge, it’s proving something timeless: when people come together with a shared goal — even online — real change happens.
So maybe this weekend, instead of going out to buy something you don’t really need, lock in, light a candle, and make your favorite meal at home.
You’ll be surprised by how rich simple can feel.
