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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Agreed, a higher paying job only helps up to a point. Being able to save money is the key factor in building wealth. You can't do it without a good paying job so that's a must but it doesn't mean you need to try for a job with 150k+ salary, especially if you hate the job and end up spending a bunch of your money on things that make you happy.
After the point where you are saving over 1k a month the most important thing is learning as much as you can about financial literacy and creating a diverse portfolio of assets.
