If you have a job, you are just a seat warmer, because one day, you will die or be fired or retire, and someone else will sit on that seat. Your children can't inherit your job. At the most, a job enriches you. That is why you must think generationally. Even if you have a job, get a side hustle. Only your own business or investment can enrich your generation. With any job, your end goal should be to work to get capital to start your own business or make investments. Poverty is a disease to be cured, not suppressed with a monthly salary. The only known cure for poverty is your own business or investment!
