Have you ever looked at your bank account and thought,
"How am I broke again… I literally just got paid?"
You’re not alone.
In fact, a recent report found that over 58% of Americans earning six figures still live paycheck to paycheck. Yes - even those making over $100,000.
And it’s not because they don’t make enough money.It’s because they don’t have a system.
That’s the focus of our latest Clear Path Gen video: 📺 Why You’re Always Broke (Even With a Good Job)
🚨 The Hard Truth Most People Ignore
Most of us were never taught how to manage money.
Schools skipped personal finance.
Parents did their best, but even they were guessing.
So we default to what everyone else is doing:
Spend until your next paycheck
Feel guilty
Repeat
But that cycle is why you're stuck.
💡 The Real Reason You Stay Broke
Here’s what the video unpacks:
The 50-30-20 rule (how rich people organize their money)
Why budgeting isn’t about restriction, it’s about freedom
How a 22-year-old named Chris went from $17 in his account to saving thousands
The deadly myths around budgeting — and how to destroy them
And most importantly…
We show you exactly what to do next - with a simple 3-step money challenge anyone can start today.
🔄 From Surviving to Thriving: Chris’ Story
You’ll meet Chris - a relatable young professional who got his first full-time job and thought he was finally free.
But within weeks, he was drowning in:
Impulse purchases
Forgotten subscriptions
Late fees
And… ramen dinners
Sound familiar?
What changed his life wasn’t a raise.It was a mindset shift - followed by one system that’s easy to follow and proven to work.
✅ Take the Challenge (Starts Today)
Here’s your action plan straight from the video:
Pick your system (start with the 50-30-20 rule)
Set a micro-goal ($100 savings target)
Track it weekly (not daily - we keep it doable)
Bonus: Create a fun fund so budgeting doesn’t feel like a punishment.
🔁 What Happens If You Don’t?
If nothing changes, your next raise won’t save you. Neither will the next job, the tax return, or the side hustle.
Because money problems aren’t income problems - they’re system problems.
If you don’t learn how to tell your money where to go, you’ll always wonder where it went.
📣 Final Word: Money Doesn’t Control You
