Hannah Hammond argues that saving alone won't build wealth. After her first engineering paycheck, she saw how much went to taxes and retirement deductions, making her realize she needed to focus on earning more money instead.

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(k) 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.
