In this week's episode of Abundance Thursdays, Vinney "Smile" Chopra and Gualter Amarelo unpack a truth that most people overlook: your job is not the goal—it's the tool. If you're grinding 40+ hours a week but not building real wealth, you're missing the point. Your W2 income should buy back your time—not just pay bills.
In this candid, energetic conversation, Vinney and Gualter share:
👉🏻Why your job should be the fuel for your freedom, not your finish line
👉🏻How to use raises and bonuses to acquire assets—not more liabilities
👉🏻The danger of lifestyle creep and how it keeps high earners broke
👉🏻Real stories of two professionals—one built wealth, the other stayed stuck
This episode is a must-listen if you're feeling stuck in the rat race or wondering how to transition from employee to investor. Whether you're earning $60K or $600K, the strategy is the same: make your money work harder than you do.
Tune in and learn how to stop trading time for money—and start living on your terms.
