High earners are not broke… they’re exposed. In this episode, Mikey Taylor and Michael Michalov break down why so many millennials and Gen Z feel trapped despite making good money and the exact playbook to escape the income treadmill. We cover the difference between income and ownership, why “spending is visible and wealth is silent,” how to buy back freedom with cash flow, and whether you should go DIY or passive in real estate. If you’re making money but feel stuck, this is your pivot point.
