We've all been taught the same thing about money: study hard, get a high-paying job, and wealth will naturally follow. But if that was the case, I wouldn't be meeting doctors and executives who are still working at 70 because they can't retire. And on the other hand, I wouldn't be meeting ordinary people with average salaries who have portfolios worth millions. Today's episode is about how a high salary does not equal automatic wealth building, why many high earners never build wealth, and how you can get wealthy, even with an average income.
