Скачать или смотреть The Efficiency Trap: Why Earning More Buys You Less Freedom

You did everything right. You climbed the ladder, optimized your career, and doubled your income. So why do you feel more stuck now than when you were broke?

This is the paradox of modern success: as your income rises, your freedom often shrinks.


This video illustrates the circular trap of work infrastructure and the high overhead cost that often reduce net profit, leaving many living paycheck to paycheck. We break down the psychological trap of PTO requests and how overwhelm can lead to paralysis, allowing the system to win. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective money management and achieving financial freedom.


In this video, we cover:

The Efficiency Trap: Why being better at your job just gets you more work, not more time.

The Convenience Tax: How you unknowingly spend your raise on "high-burn maintenance" to cope with exhaustion.

The Autonomy Paradox: Why digital tools have turned "flexibility" into a 24/7 tether.

3 Escape Routes: Practical steps to decouple your spending from your stress (Energy Audit, The Decouple, The Quit Fund).
