The Paycheck Paradox: Why Most People Stay Poor with Sharon Lechter and Russell Gray

Описание: Sharon Lechter and Russell Gray break down the real rules of the financial game—why your income matters less than what you do with your paycheck, and how the right mix of assets builds lasting wealth. They compare financial freedom to other forms of freedom (time, choice, purpose), make the case for stronger personal finance literacy for younger generations, and reframe failure as a tool for growth. The conversation also tackles macro risk—what could happen if the debt bubble pops—and why shifting from scarcity to abundance, fear to purpose, and entitlement to empowerment is essential for building the life you actually want. They close with the core traits shared by the most successful people and a simple question that clarifies everything: How do you want to live—and what do you need to build to live that way?
