Introduction: The Moment I Realized Everything I Was Taught About Money Was a Lie
I thought I was doing everything right.
I worked hard. I saved what I could. I played by the so-called rules—the same rules everyone says will lead to financial success. And yet, I was stuck. Spinning my wheels. Watching other people get ahead while I stayed in the same place, paycheck to paycheck, hoping the next year would be better than the last.
Sound familiar?
Then I had one of those gut-punch moments—the kind that forces you to wake up. I saw someone my age—same background, same level of intelligence—but with ten times more money, more freedom, and zero stress about finances.
I had to know: What was he doing that I wasn’t?
Turns out, he wasn’t playing by the same rules I was. He had figured out something I hadn’t—something most people never do.
That’s when I went down the rabbit hole. I studied how the wealthy actually think and act when it comes to money. I started applying what I learned.
And guess what? It worked.
Within a few years, I went from feeling financially trapped to building real wealth. I didn’t win the lottery, inherit money, or magically stumble into success. I just stopped playing the game the way they told me to—and started playing it like the winners do.
This book is the guide I wish I had when I started.
If you’re ready to stop settling for the same old “work hard and hope for the best” nonsense, keep reading. Because once you see how the system really works, you’ll never look at money the same way again.
Excerpt from Chapter 1: The Biggest Money Lie You’ve Been Told
Let’s get one thing straight right now: Saving your way to wealth is a joke.
You’ve heard it all before.
“Cut back on coffee.”
“Live below your means.”
“Put a little money aside every month, and one day, you’ll be rich.”
Here’s the truth they don’t tell you:
You will never get rich by just saving money.
Let’s do the math.
If you save $200 a month for 30 years, you’ll have $72,000. Maybe a bit more if you get some interest.
You know what that won’t do?
Buy you financial freedom.
Give you the ability to quit your job.
Make you wealthy.
The real secret? The rich don’t just save money—they multiply it.
They use their money to buy more money through smart investments, business moves, and wealth-building strategies that no one teaches in school.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is pinching pennies, hoping that somehow, magically, their tiny savings account will turn into millions. Spoiler alert: It won’t.
If you want to win at the money game, you have to stop playing defense (saving) and start playing offense (earning, investing, and multiplying).
That’s exactly what we’ll cover in this book. And once you understand how to make money work for you—instead of you always working for it—you’ll never be financially stuck again. -JCK
