Hannah Hammond stopped trying to save her way to wealth after seeing her first paycheck decimated by taxes and retirement deductions. She realized the real move was learning to earn more, not pinching pennies. That shift in focus became her biggest financial decision.

I would say the most pivotal decision that I made when it comes to money is learning how to make money instead of learning how to save money. When I got out of engineering school and I got my first paycheck, half of the money was gone immediately to Social Security and 401 and taxes. I knew that I was never going to be able to save my way into the wealth that I wanted to create. I had to learn how to go create the wealth.
