A recurring theme from the speaker's worldview is the importance of "acting your wage." This phrase underscores the need to live within one's means and avoid the trap of buying things with money you don't have.

A wise person, on the other hand, understands that real wealth isn’t about owning flashy possessions but about financial stability and living a life aligned with personal values.
