"People in the middle [of their careers] tend to suffer from not an awful lot of investment because they are steady people, they know their job and are really good at it. What we find is that people don't tend to move on for more money unless something has made them think about money. And the thing that tends to make them think about money is dissatisfaction in a job and that might be because no-one is investing in their development and they don’t feel valued anymore."

An interesting quote.

I met guys that were in their 30's/early 40's that were approaching being millionaires. They didn't seem to want much of anything except to work. I thought it an intriguing perception.

If I was mid 20's and strong/healthy ... I'd sell my soul to the oil/gas industry for about three years, learn some stuff and settle into a very comfortable life.

The money would go into buying an island somewhere and I'd go off and be a missionary or something.

Not many in the 20’s have the discipline to set aside that much of their salary.
