Before diving in, let me make an honest confession: I’m not rich, and you have no reason to trust my perspective. But hear me out.

What I used to believe was: A job will make you rich.

That’s what our parents told us, and that’s what our teachers taught us.

But let’s face it: most of our parents aren’t rich, and neither are our teachers. Sure, if someone is hereditarily wealthy, they’ll remain rich. Generational wealth is a different story.

  • Yes, a job gives you a stable income source.
  • Yes, it can improve your lifestyle a little.
  • Yes, it enables you to buy things you’ve always wanted—like a phone or a gadget.

But when your dreams grow bigger, a job alone won’t cut it.

For larger goals—like buying a house, starting a business, or chasing an ambitious dream—you’ll often end up taking loans. And those loans can shackle you for 10–20 years, sucking the life out of your soul.
