Yep, all of this is right. I was living almost paycheck to paycheck as a high income earner (two homes, lots of unexpected bills, etc.). To offset this, I figured out how to make an additional $2K on the side to alleviate things and have money to invest. Sometimes, you have to just hustle and figure it out 🤷🏻♀️

While I do see many Americans having poor SPENDING habits, I know a large chunk of Americans do have relatively healthy spending and budgeting habits. But they are weak in the first phase of wealth- income generation. If one talks about investing and budgeting, income generation comes before all of that and is worth mentioning.

All of this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I saw older adults in their homes after they were discharged from the hospital and so many of them couldn’t afford meds, food, etc because they never saved.
