Hard Work is No Longer the Problem — Direction Is A practical guide to money, work, investing, and survival in today’s world 1. Why people feel financially stuck despite working harder Across income levels, the complaint is the same: “Salary comes, disappears.” “I’m earning more than before, but saving less.” “One emergency and everything shakes.” This is not accidental.
