Usually people get anxious and frenetic for new sources of income, to find new jobs, so they can maximize their patrimony as soon as possible, but many of them forget you don't accumulate wealth only when receiving money or being paid by others for a work. We can also decrease our expenses and stop third-partying tasks we can do ourselves, so at the end of a monthly cycle we will have earned more money to invest and make it grow overtime.
People create so many worthless fixed expenses nowadays. It can be monthly subscriptions of services they barely use, eating out too often, purchasing superfluous clothes, accessories and items in general just for vanity towards the society. Sometimes people have all the tools they need on their hands to finish a solid building, however, since they don't know how to use them properly, it will look like they constantly need more and more tools indefinitely.
This is correct, I have known people that earn a good salary and that live a good life but if they lose their job they will be homeless in a matter of months, and in fact I have seen this scenario playing out once in front of my eyes.
And while I do not earn nowhere near what those people earn I do save and invest my money, so even if I happened to lose my job I could survive without any problem for years and that is because I do my best to not spend my money in stuff I do not really need.
