Debt is a Trap—Strategy is the Exit 🚀

Yeah, I was the one hunched over a desk, staring at bills and wondering if I’d ever break free from that dead-end job. Back then, the money I earned was already gone before the month even started, and I honestly thought wealth was for someone born on a different planet, not me—just out there behind some rain-streaked skyscraper windows.

What changed? It wasn’t some miracle pay rise, it was a realisation: you don’t earn your way to wealth—you build it by playing smarter. It’s not about how much comes in, it’s about the strategy you lay down with what you’ve got.

Here’s what shifted everything: I started paying myself first—treating investing as the first bill to get paid, every single time. Instead of letting money sit and vanish, I made it work for me: stocks, property, automated transfers. Each tiny step stacked those odds in my favour. It sounds cliché, I know, but clicking “confirm” on that first investment app felt like a jailbreak moment.

Now, years later, I’m nowhere near finished, but trust me, the skyline looks entirely different from up here. I’ve seen ordinary people—just like me—flip the switch and start their journey to millionaire status. Don’t wait for perfect timing, don’t wait for some magic number in your bank. The real wealth starts the minute you decide to move.

The only way out? Strategy over earnings. Pay yourself first. Make money work. Start now. Trust me, the view is worth it.
