Earning money is hard. Saving money is hard. Getting rich and being able to live comfortably is hard. But the truth is saving is not enough. Lots of people will ask how to really get out of poverty but the simple straightforward answer is that you need to be earning more than what you are spending. The question begs, is there a way to get rich even if your expenses are higher than what you are earning?

I don't think so. Some people might use credit cards or loans but it is just a cycle of taking a loan then paying it and you are not really moving forward are you? Saving also does nothing much but it can be a good start. You start saving money and at some point when the money is big enough you can start investing. Either in crypto, real estate or in a business. But just saving the money? Unless you want to keep working until the day you die then it will not be enough.

You're right saving alone won’t make you rich. It’s a good habit, but it’s just the beginning. If you’re always spending more than you earn, there’s no way to move forward loans and credit cards just keep you stuck in a cycle.

The real path out of poverty is earning more and using the extra to invest. Whether it’s in real estate, crypto, or starting a small business, your money has to start working for you. Saving helps build that foundation, but without investing or growing your income, you’ll likely be stuck working forever.
