I found your channel a couple of months ago and I love listening to your talks while I am walking in the early morning, preparing to retire in the next two years. Thank you so much.

I agree that as a young person just starting out we need to invest in ourselves. The problem becomes most employers have of value of what we are worth. To get higher salaries we sometimes need to move on from employers or take promotions that maybe we don't want.

But with that said there comes a point where we can no longer earn more and our salary becomes stagnant or in most cases loses money because we are earning the top of what we can.

I've worked for a corporation my whole life, they are all the same. Yes, invest in yourself but also invest in things that can generate money outside of your working career.

A lot of times you need to change jobs to get the wage increases talked about here. Many companies take their long time employees for granted and actually pay newer employees more.
