    “High income doesn’t mean wealth — it just means you’re good at earning. I watched too many parents hand their kids the same lifestyle inflation trap that kept them broke. Comfort masquerading as ‘balance’ is the silent killer of ambition. This calculator forces the discipline tax early so your child pays it cheap — not forever.”
