A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

While I agree with most of what you said, solely focusing on a high paying job is a guaranteed way to create an unhappy life.
Building financial discipline and learning how to save is one of the most critically underrated skills in creating personal wealth. You wouldn't believe the amount of high income individuals that struggle to live BELOW their means and can't build their net worth.
At some point, it's more about how much your save, than how much you make.
