Your 9-to-5 job is a powerful wealth-building tool. It provides the steady capital you need. A simple investing system puts that capital to work. This combination allows you to buy assets consistently. You build wealth methodically, on your own terms. Your life. Your Rules.

THIS!!! Everyone and their uncle wants to be an entrepreneur. I say work in a relevant field, save, and invest. Enjoy Healthcare benefits and travel, time with your kids, while making 💰 work with you.

I promise it works. Some powerful ways to maximize the effect: - Non-FAANG tech generally allows full remote. Can live in a low COL location. - Automate the contributions, asset purchases and payments. - Don't chase div yield. Chase growth (div growth or share price).

The key is it actually being a 9-5 rather than 9-6 or 8-5. That way you can live your life and even drum up some side income to speed up the process.

I’m all for it if you don’t mind/enjoy your 9-5. They can build tremendous wealth when the finances are in order.

That’s exactly how I did it… 35 years in government… the pay wasn’t the best but the benefits were… and a pension for life…

Cashflow is key. The wider your cashflow, the better your life will be. So many people are afraid of living below their means because they equate money with value. Whereas value is inherent.

Well said my brother ! The 9 to 5 funds your 5 to 9. Escape velocity.

Did this. Good news, anyone can do it. Bad news, nothing happens between $1Mil to $10Mil... you have to keep building.

True.. and it is the solution for many of us, but you need TIME! Not all of us will have enough time.. unfortunately

Well said. A high W2 can be the launchpad what matters is turning that income into assets that work for you.
