A Goldman Sachs study found that 40% of people earning over $500,000 are living paycheck to paycheck.

That's not an income problem. It's a mindset problem.

George Kamel breaks it down as lifestyle creep. The bigger paycheck funds a bigger car payment, a bigger house, a bigger performance of wealth. If every dollar is spent to look rich, you'll never become wealthy.

The root cause? Insecurity. The more secure you are, the better you build. The less secure, the more you flex.

And if you're eyeing a "can't miss" investment right now, George says the motivation is almost always fear, greed, or pride. He calls them the Three Stooges of wealth building. They feel urgent. They feel smart. They will wipe you out.
