    Have options. They’re a superpower

    Ever feel like the system is rigged against you?

    Picture this: a massive wildfire erupts, and the fire department, our supposed first line of defense is struggling, out of water, out of solutions, totally unprepared.

    Meanwhile, influencers and celebrities flood social media, asking you to donate money.

    Seriously? Haven’t we been paying taxes all these years? Isn’t it the government’s job to allocate emergency funds? Why does the burden always come back to us?

    And here’s the bitter truth: when disasters strike, it’s always the middle class that bears the brunt. We suffer the most, yet we’re the first to be asked for more.

    This is just not just happening in America, in india too, you feel helpless as a middle class citizen. You bear the burden of the majority of the population who either don’t pay taxes/ or is unproductive to an extent.

    So, what’s the solution?

    As tough as it sounds, get out of the middle class. Hustle like your life depends on it. Build an income that gives you choices, the freedom to live where you want, do what you want, and say “f you” to anything or anyone holding you back.

    Options aren’t just a luxury, they’re a superpower. And you owe it to yourself.
