Rethinking Financial Advice: Why Earning Outweighs Cost Cutting

Most financial books focus on cutting costs rather than making money. In reality, very few actually make money. They provide strategies and tools but often lack concrete implementation steps or a proven track record of success.

Let’s break it down:

  • Take someone earning $100,000 with $250,000 in savings. Even with aggressive cost-cutting—say, 30%—they’d save $30,000 per year. But using the Stars Model, they could potentially earn 25-30% per year, translating to $60,000 in annual investment gains.
  • That’s double the financial impact. And while cost-cutting gets harder over time (once the easy cuts are made), investment growth compounds, making wealth-building more sustainable in the long run.
  • The takeaway? Your financial future is more likely to be shaped by smart investing than by reducing expenses.
