Analysis

Talking Head

Broke couples chase luxury items, middle class couples chase secure jobs, and wealthy couples build businesses. But not in the way that you think.
The script — as said out loud
Broke couples chase luxury items, middle class couples chase secure jobs, and wealthy couples build businesses. But not in the way that you think. See, the couples who pull ahead in their 30s and 40s all follow the exact same formula. One person plays defense and the other plays offense. One has the stable W2 with the 401K and the health benefits, while the other partner swings for the moon by building a business. See, by combining the two, they create a system that makes it impossible for them to be poor because it gives them both stability and the freedom to take risks. And that's why.
