Its a lot easier with a higher income. That isn't meant as a flex, its just true because of how percentages work. You don't live of a percentage, you live off a certain number of dollars per month. Just because I start making more doesn't mean I'm going to lose my mind and start just throwing money away for no reason.

I've watched the Money Guy Show before by the way and I think they give solid advice and are some of the better personalities out there for financial advice so not trying to dunk on them. Pretty sure they would agree actually.
