Image
​ I remember the exact moment I realized my paycheck was a trap. ​ I was sitting in traffic, staring at the taillights in front of me, and I did the math.

A promotion comes through, a business begins to grow, or a side hustle starts bringing in steady income. Naturally, the expectation is simple: more income should mean less financial stress.
