Episode 3244: Paula Pant challenges the common obsession with income by shifting the focus to what truly matters: how much of that income is retained and used wisely. Her sharp analysis dismantles superficial financial comparisons and empowers listeners to focus on freedom, flexibility, and building wealth through mindful spending and investing. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://affordanything.com/how-much-does-she-earn/ Quotes to ponder: "Your income is not your wealth. Your income is not your freedom." "Don’t focus on how much someone earns. Focus on how much they keep." "The true measure of wealth is how long you can live without needing to earn another dollar."
