a low median or high earner for your age bracket let us know in the comments and maybe even share what you do for work this will help our community understand where the earning potential is and since you stuck around until the very end of this video well we saved a little bonus for you if you think the 1% makes a lot of money you're about to be in shock okay the US population as of 2024 is 341 million people and that means that in the United States there are over 3.
4 million individuals earning on a yearly basis more than the numbers that we shared with you today 3. 4 million people earn close to a million dollars every year that's a lot of people earning so much money it's not just a handful of billionaires so not only is it possible you have a one in 100 chance of being one of them and if you want to learn something even even crazier the top 0. 1% that's about 350,000 people earn on average 2.
8 million a year now we're about to share a golden nugget with you that will change the lives of true halers that have the ears to learn from this the reason why these people earn exponentially more money than everyone else is because they decided to earn more and they made it their business to earn more they made it their mission in life to learn everything they can obsessively about how money works and how they can insert themselves into the economic flow to capture value you're unlikely to get those kinds of numbers as an employee so you need to start a business you need to learn different skills than people who will work in your business if you get really good at it the results are worth it if you believe you're one of those people who's destined to be one of the 1centers or even the 0. 1 percenters we've built something for you your earning is directly correlated to your speed of learning and the quality of the guidance you receive this is why Silicon Valley CEOs pay millions to Executive coaches they're not buying advice no they're buying time and efficiency and look okay we paid those coaches their ridiculous fees on your behalf so you can have access to all the same kinds of insights and guidance as the super rich do at a fraction of the cost that's what the alux app is for $1.
