They Trained You To Be Poor — Here’s How...

minoritymindset
About this episode

"Our economic system profits when you make stupid financial decisions. Banks profit when you are in debt, corporations profit when you spend your money, and the government profits when you are just an employee."

Americans are more educated than ever, have more technology than ever, and live in the biggest economy ever. So why are record numbers of people broke?

In this episode, Jaspreet exposes the uncomfortable truth: you've been systematically trained to stay poor because broke employees and consumers make everyone else rich. But once you understand the game, you can flip it and use the same system to build wealth.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why employees pay the highest tax rates while investors get the biggest breaks
  • The mindset shifts that separate wealth builders from wealth destroyers
  • How a $50,000 BMW payment becomes $8 million in lost wealth over 45 years
  • The 75/15/10 rule that automatically builds wealth every paycheck
  • Why cutting Netflix isn't about saving $15, it's about reclaiming your brain
  • How VTI and SPY let you invest in the entire stock market with one purchase
  • The difference between formal education and wealth building education

Jaspreet breaks down the five steps to escape the poverty training system and reveals why the same people who profit from keeping you broke also provide the tools to make you rich once you know how to use them. This is your manual for financial deprogramming.
