You will never get wealthy through employment, because lazy governments use tax on salaries as a proxy to tax big corporations. So you work hard and get very little in exchange.

Wealthy people live off passive income, dividends, capital gains and so on.

So if you want to take a jump, you need to become an expert on stock trading and start investing.

Then maybe after 10 or so years you could retire unless the government move goal posts again and tax the small guy more.
