Tbh, some of the wealthiest people I've meet have been:Well, that's on the person themselves to manage. If you're bad with money you're going to have a tough time building wealth whether you make $50k/year or $500k/year.
A reliable nursing job for 40 years and you can't save enough and invest properly, that's on you.
I know a lot of nurses with absolutely insane retirement plans and that's on top of what they've earned through their careers. More than any tech and engineering people I know, that's for sure.
A reliable, high-paying job is the first part of wealth creation for most people. I know a nurse who's done insane for her family who'll inherit a fortune because she knew what she was doing.
Traditional Engineers and/or Smart Nurses.
The newer breed of nurses I've met seem more concerned with living a certain lifestyle which is why
they pursued the career (big starting salaries that kinda plateau early) and seem to be more concerned
with lifestyle than wealth building.
My former lead is 36? Over half a million-dollar stock portfolio .
I've met several engineers who did the math and just decided to cut expenses and invest heavily
early on. So they'll most likely be millionaires at around the age 40 mark.
