The Overtime Scam: Why Working More Makes You Poorer

You’re working longer hours than ever.
So why does life feel tighter, not better?

This video breaks down the Overtime Scam — the quiet math problem facing millions of Americans where working more hours no longer leads to real financial progress.

Using real U.S. income scenarios and simple math, this breakdown shows how overtime pay is quietly erased by taxes, higher costs, convenience spending, and burnout — leaving many American workers with less time, less energy, and barely any financial margin.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• Why overtime is taxed at your highest marginal rate
• How extra hours increase spending without you noticing
• The hidden costs of convenience, stress, and burnout
• Why housing, childcare, and healthcare force longer hours
• How working more often means saving less
• The difference between income growth and real financial margin
• Why optionality matters more than gross pay

This video is for American professionals and families who feel stuck working longer weeks just to stay afloat — not to get ahead.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I work harder than ever, but nothing changes”
“I make good money, but have no breathing room”
“Why does overtime not feel worth it anymore?”

This video explains the real math behind it.
