In my mind there a big difference between being “rich” and being a “high income earner” (HIE). Someone who is a HIE may have a better chance of becoming rich if they invest and are good at money management. On the other hand they may be very bad with money and living paycheck to paycheck despite this. Someone who is rich has freedom. They have enough money in investments to live off of the returns indefinitely.
