Living paycheck-to-paycheck is mentally and financially stressful today for many reasons, including the rising cost of living. Despite this, most companies have yet to adjust salaries to reflect this, making it difficult to survive with a single paycheck alone. Unfortunately, this vicious cycle is a reality for many people. According to a recent report, 64% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. This was Reese Buttigieg’s life a few years back, an experience he says deeply inspired him to create a solution.
Reese was struggling financially. He didn’t have money to invest in other projects or save by the end of the month as he had already used it to cover daily expenses. Fast forward to today, and he is one of the top e-commerce entrepreneurs. He has built several successful e-commerce stores in the last six years, which he used to build his wealth.
He is also the CEO of Change mentor hub, a training platform guiding you on creating a profitable online business from scratch. Together with the team, Reese is helping people break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and start earning 5 and 6 figures online.
According to Reese, one of the reasons so many live this reality is the lack of proper planning, which he partly attributes to the current education system. He explains that schools still teach traditional techniques that are no longer viable in the modern world. “Many people don’t have what it takes to compete in today’s world and end up spending their lives stuck in a low-paying job and thousands in debt,” Reese says.
In high school, Reese thought about what job/career he wanted to do when he was older. When he started college, it was more about ensuring he got good grades to get the job, but he didn’t get to experience the market and learn what skills were needed. He eventually dropped out in his second year and invested in the digital space.
Reese believes the current system is designed to teach you to be dependent (an employee) rather than an entrepreneur. Through Change mentor hub, he helps individuals better understand the digital space and the business world and how they can build successful e-commerce and dropshipping stores.
The foundation of a strong e-commerce business starts with good products. Reese teaches entrepreneurs to find winning products and build top websites that rank high on search engines. He has taught and mentored thousands, helping them build solid brands and businesses and turning over 5 and 6 figures a month. He says his goal is to help more people worldwide stop living paycheck-to-paycheck and start growing their wealth.
“Breaking the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle is the first step to financial freedom as you can grow your investments and savings,” Reese adds. However, you must be ready to learn. He notes that you can never be successful by playing it safe. You must learn to take calculated risks. He also stresses the importance of being patient and consistent. Change mentor hub has a podcast where they talk more about entrepreneurship and how to escape the paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle.
