In our country, this is the most common tradition or belief. While we're young, we were taught to study hard and finish schooling, and get a stable job. Because once we have already acquired a stable job, we will start earning and improve our lives. And create consistent progress, until we end up getting rich and enjoy the best things in life.
But I don't think we are getting align with it. Instead of working to earn and get rich, why are majority now end up struggling in life? Honestly, what I'm seeing right now is that we work to survive, not to make money and get rich in the process. Could this be the real possibility of life? Or we are just blinded by fantasies in life? Or is it because working alone is never sufficient enough to make riches in life, but we need various investments to achieve success and get wealthy in the long run?
I know different opinions and ideas may arise, but I'll be more willing to read and reflect each of it.
Your words are really realistic. In fact, what we have been taught since childhood is that real life is now more complicated than ever. Just getting a job does not ensure financial security. In the current era, everyone cannot just earn. They need to know about proper financial management, savings and investments. Otherwise, they will have to work all their lives just to survive, not to build a life. The current economic reality has changed. A job alone is not enough to fulfill their dreams, skills, networks, investment mindset and side income are also important. It is true that getting rich just by working is not possible for everyone. So I think that awareness, financial education and small initiatives such as savings, freelancing, investments can change our future. In this case, we have to create our own alternative paths.
