"The Poverty of More - Why earning more wont fix a leaking bucket" addresses the phenomenon of lifestyle inflation. It argues that for the majority of the middle class, income is not the problem-the "burn rate" is. The book exposes the structural trap where every salary increase is immediately absorbed by higher fixed costs (better car, bigger house), leaving the earner running faster just to stay in the same place.Financial author James Reed creates a framework for "Structural Wealth" versus "Income Wealth." He explains why high earners are often the most fragile financially because they have built a life that requires 100% of their capacity to maintain. The book focuses on the psychology of "enough" and the strategic power of keeping fixed costs low even as income rises."The Poverty of More" is a wake-up call for those who are waiting for the "next big raise" to solve their problems. It teaches that true wealth is the gap between what you earn and what you need, and that widening that gap is a game of psychology, not just math.
Understand why a higher salary often leads to less freedom and how to break the cycle of lifestyle inflation.
