Are mutual funds really helping you build wealth — or just helping Wall Street get richer? 

In this episode of Rich Dad StockCast, host Del Denny sits down with Rich Dad financial expert Andy Tanner to break down the uncomfortable truth about mutual funds. You've probably been told to max out your 401(k), dump your savings into mutual funds, and "just let it grow." But here's the reality: most mutual funds underperform the market, charge hidden fees, and benefit the fund managers more than they benefit you.

Andy explains why the rich rarely invest in mutual funds — and what they do instead to build real cash flow and long-term wealth. You'll learn how to flip the script on your financial future, avoid common investor traps, and start building your own investment blueprint.

If you're ready to stop handing over your hard-earned money to Wall Street and start thinking like the rich… this episode is your wake-up call.
