We live in a world where people think long hours and a fat salary automatically mean you have 𝘸𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦. 

The fancier your job title, the bigger your salary - the more others assume you are successful. 

It’s almost funny how easily the world buys that story.

But if you haven’t reached the finish line, can you really claim the victory?

Let’s be honest…

If your life is just a cycle of waking up, rushing to work, sitting in endless meetings, dealing with office politics, and collapsing into bed - that’s not success. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘨.

Working harder doesn’t always mean you’re getting ahead.

Sometimes, it just means you’re getting more tired while building someone else’s dream.

 ❌ Complaining about poor work culture

 ❌ Enduring burnout and toxic bosses

 ❌ Waiting endlessly for that promotion or growth opportunity

 ❌ Having to resign just to get noticed and renegotiate your package

❌ Eagerly waiting with hope for a better annual salary hike

❌ Being grilled in review meetings as if your commitment and hard work carries no value

❌ Having to quit just to get a fair raise

…yet you can’t walk away without fearing for your bills -

 It’s about:

✅Being able to cover your expenses without relying on anyone for income

✅ Saying “No” to toxic clients or bosses

✅ Helping others without stressing about your own survival

✅ Buying 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 - not just 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴

Until then, you’re playing by someone else’s rules.

I speak from hard-earned experience, after living over two decades in the corporate grind - nothing has changed, and nothing will.

That question shaped every financial and life decision I made.
