Salary is a medicine for managing the disease of poverty. It can’t cure it. Only your own business can cure poverty. Poverty is not just about money. Time is more valuable than money. If another man controls your time, you are poor even if you earn much salary. It is nobody’s responsibility to help you escape poverty. Only you have that responsibility. So if you are counselled to save from your salary for the purpose of investing, and you angrily retort ‘which salary? My salary is not enough’, what you are saying is that you will be poor forever. You can’t earn your way out of poverty. You can only invest your way out of poverty.
