Most people spend their entire career focused on earning more.
Very few spend time thinking about how much of that money they're actually keeping.
A pay rise feels great.
Until you realise how much disappears before it ever reaches your bank account.
This isn't a post about whether taxes are right or wrong.
It's a reminder that building wealth isn't just about increasing your income. It's about understanding where your money goes and making informed decisions about what happens to what's left.
That's one of the reasons so many people turn to investing. Not because they hate paying tax, but because they want their money working as hard as they do.
What surprised you most about these numbers? π
