You can't rely on a salary to get rich

This is mainly about creating your own wealth. The first basic question is how do you want to spend your time? Since we are creatures of habit, having a scheduled 9-5 job with someone else directing you can be very comforting. It takes a special kind of person to go off and schedule your own day, work hard towards a goal, all while fitting in your normal life in between. With a job, you are forced to go to work at a set time, then when it's done you go home and continue your life for a few hours. Not everyone wants to spend that time creating wealth.
