Sticking to a job is not a ticket to wealth. Working 80 hours a week with no days off will only lead to subsistence. This logic has been validated countless times in the traditional economic system. True wealth rise has never come from a linear exchange of time and salary - that’s just too inefficient. The smarter people today are thinking about asset returns, whether it’s equity allocation, encryption assets, or other alternative investments; making money work for you is the key to breaking the income ceiling. The limitations of a single income source are becoming increasingly obvious, and diversification is the right way to respond to economic changes.
