The Middle-Class Trap: Working Hard but Going Nowhere | Charlie Munger

Millions of people work hard every single day — yet feel stuck, tired, and broke. In this masterclass, Charlie Munger — the legendary partner of Warren Buffett — explains why hard work alone isn’t enough.

This is not a talk about greed or ambition — it’s about freedom. Munger reveals how average people can escape the illusion of success, build real wealth, and create independence through frugality, simplicity, rational thinking, and compounding wisdom.
