And yes, to minimize all of this, maintaining a salaried job while building a business will make it more likely that we will survive failure. It's now common for salaried individuals to have side businesses.
Salaries are not increasing with inflation rate and we have two options at our disposal, whether to keep cursing the low salaries or do something extra to counter the increasing inflation rate. I do a job and I also participate here in signature campaign to earn few extra bucks. Likewise every person in this world has so many options at his disposal that he can use to increase his income. These days it's a necessary that you have good amount of money in your account to deal with any unwanted situation. If you are getting good salary from job then it's fine otherwise do extra work to increase your income.
Salaries do increase, but very slowly, and the increase is usually not greater than the increase in inflation, which is the problem. Let's just say if inflation never increased, perhaps we would be very secure with our current salaries and could live better, but what can we do if inflation slowly kills us?
We do have to work extra to increase our income, and that's the only thing we can do to survive better and have the opportunity to save and invest. It's incredibly arrogant for people with high-paying jobs to still seek other sources of income to increase cash flow.
