Making money work for you instead of always working for money comes down to building a streams of income that don’t rely on your time alone. I think, it’s not about quitting your good paying job overnight, but is all about you using the money you earn to create assets that pay you back overtime.
You are very correct and I like the approach to this, the reason why some set of people that were very wealthy are not wealthy anymore is because they refuse to let their money work for them they keep working for their money, I have a friend he was once working with a very big company and he was paid very well he use his money to invest in a lot of things especially the oil sector and today is making huge sum of money from those investment he made, he's not working he only invested on those things and they are people working for him now and making those money for him and that is the right thing to do which ever work you are doing try to save up and use the money to invest in something that will be bringing money to you if you rely only on the job you are doing what if they retire you one day or you get sacked what will your life turn into.
Please invest with your money in other to secure your future.
The whole essence of you working for someone is to save up and start your own business or invest on something that will give you good return in the future. That is why you see people investing on Bitcoin.
