“You Don’t Have An Earning Problem, You Have A Spending Problem” - Caleb Hammer
"I swear, the closer they get from 100 to 200 or even a half a million dollars a year, the worse debt, the more credit cards, the more time-shares, the more cars, the more [ __ ] they have. It's It's impressive. It's so bad."
Caleb Hammer claims that Financial Audit guests earning between $100,000 and $500,000 annually accumulate significantly worse debt than lower-income participants, with more credit cards, timeshares, and luxury purchases. He suggests the majority of Americans earning half a million dollars per year may be in bad financial situations due to lifestyle inflation. Hammer noted that high-income earners are the worst-performing episodes despite being able to fix their situations quickly, because they get approved for more debt and spend accordingly.
