There are more stories of average income earners becoming wealthy buy living below their means AND investing than stories of people getting wealthy through super high-income paying jobs. Many high-income earners live lavishly and even incur debt.

It& #39;s not how much you make, it& #39;s how much you KEEP. The first step is maximizing what you already get. Live below your means and invest the difference. Then when you do get a raise don& #39;t spend more, invest more. When you say "I will invest once I get a raise" it never happens.

You& #39;re more likely to get rich living below your means and investing heavily than you are to get a super high paying job.

But if you can do both at the same time would be great (have a high income job and invest heavily)! Best of both world& #39;s.

But you have to invest.
