The article emphasizes the importance of setting ambitious income goals while recognizing the hard work behind high earnings. It challenges feelings of jealousy towards high earners and highlights the value of a structured plan to achieve financial aspirations. While pursuing higher income, individuals must be cautious of lifestyle creep, which can undermine financial stability. The author also notes the inspiration drawn from success stories, but the focus should remain on personal financial strategies rather than envy.
Some people grow complacent with their income and don't see their earnings take off for many years - or ever. But if your goal is to earn a lot more money... that doesn't make you greedy - it makes you ambitious.
It's not a bad thing to set income goals. Rather than just tell yourself "I want to make more money," try to set an actual income goal based on a realistic business plan or career path.
There was a point in time when I'd read stories about people earning massive salaries and get pretty jealous... But the reality is that a lot of people who are higher earners get there via hard work and sacrifices.
It's important to avoid falling victim to lifestyle creep as your income picks up.
