The First or The Last | Hosted by Jay Awal

Money isn’t evil.

And it’s not something to fear.

What is dangerous is misunderstanding how money actually works.

In this episode of The First or The Last, Jay Awal breaks down the modern money system in simple terms. How money is created, how it flows, why inflation exists, and why effort alone no longer guarantees security.

This episode confronts one of the most common beliefs holding people back: confusing the love of money with the understanding of money.

Drawing from real-world economics, timeless principles, and insights echoed in The Science of Getting Rich, Jay reframes money as a neutral tool—meant to be stewarded, multiplied, and used with purpose, not worshiped or avoided.

You’ll learn:

• How money is created and circulated in today’s economy
• Why inflation quietly punishes savers and rewards owners
• The difference between effort, value, income, and ownership
• Why misunderstanding money creates dependence
• How money is meant to serve purpose—not replace it

This episode isn’t about getting rich for ego.

It’s about understanding the system so it doesn’t control you.

Because if you don’t learn how money works,

someone else will decide how much of it you get.
