But how much money is your time worth? Most people who have jobs are working for wages, and not by how much they are actually worth. Smart people build models and systems that generate money 24/7 with little to no maintenance. This, my friends, is how the rich get rich, and the poor stay poor – because they find suckers who have been brainwashed into thinking that slaving away for someone else is mandatory and the only socially acceptable way to do it (make money).
Okay, lets say you’re making a bit above minimum wage in California. You just got a raise from $8.25 to $9.00/hr. Congratulations! If you’re working 40hrs/week, you’re earning $1440/mo BEFORE taxes! YAY! And if you live in California, you know all too well that $1440 BEFORE taxes barely covers rent, let alone food and groceries and insurance and registration and electricity and other utilities and and and.. You get the idea. It’s no wonder everyone is in debt.
