If your income stopped today, how long would you survive? ⛽ In this episode, I’m breaking down the ultimate financial metaphor: The Engine vs. The Fuel. Most people obsess over their salary (the fuel), but your net worth is the size of your fuel tank. It’s the only number that tells you how much freedom you actually have if the engine stops running.

I’m diving into the 2026 UK National Median Net Worth data, explaining age benchmarks from your 20s to your 50s, and revealing the "Ghost in the Machine"—the private pension.
