I don't know what country this is in, but it seems the same in my country, where if you are just relying on your salary (unless you have a huge salary), like me, you can't really purchase a car or even a house. That is really the sad truth, and even my parents are struggling, and I don't have anything to inherit from them as even they don't have a house or land. Also, no one gets rich from working 8 a.m.–5 p.m., which is why others venture into business to try their luck. Even though I do have a full-time job as well as side hustles, I still struggle.
Exactly, it is very hard to get rich when you just settle to be an employee unless you do really have a huge income from it. I think it is not impossible to make our salary be higher, but it takes years of work and commitment to really achieve this. Also, I think that luck in a way have its effect on us since we may be committed enough but if we end up on a company that does not offer increase in salary you might be settling in this. It is the sad reality for some since the salary for most of the people is just enough to make ends meet. So, what we could do is just keep on improving ourselves so that we can improve our salary and financial capabilities while trying out the world of business since it is better to take some risk to have a better future ahead of us.
