1) The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.
When you become ignorance and greed towards money, it will only solve short term problem - monthly bills. Instead, if you can create passive incomes, having control of your financial, portioned out for investment etc, over time, you gonna let your money produce even more money for you without you managing it.
2) Financial literacy
it’s not how much money you make. It’s how much money you keep. Rich people acquire assets (puts money into your pocket). The poor and middle class acquire liabilities (takes out money from your pocket), that they think are assets. more money will often not solve the problem. In fact, it may compound the problem as their incomes go up, their expenses go up as well. Wealth is the ability to live without working - the measure of the cash flow from assets vs expenses
