Earning six figures doesn’t guarantee wealth—what you do with that income determines your financial future." — Maurice Wilson

In this episode, Maurice dives into the surprising truth about high-income earners, why doctors, lawyers, engineers, executives, and business owners often find themselves broke despite big paychecks. He unpacks the three biggest mistakes they make and shares how to shift from simply earning money to actually keeping and growing it.

  • Not Saving Enough: Why relying only on 401(k) limits set by the government keeps you stuck.

  • Lifestyle Creep: How overspending to “keep up” silently erodes wealth.

  • Income vs. Wealth: The critical difference most people miss—and how to correct it.

  • High-income professionals earning $150K+ who still feel financially stuck.

  • Doctors, lawyers, and executives wanting to build wealth beyond their paycheck.

  • Business owners and entrepreneurs struggling with cash flow despite revenue.

  • Anyone eager to turn income into lasting financial independence.
