Before The Returns

E6 - Busy Money vs. Working Money - How To Tell If Your Cash Is Actually Building Wealth


Listen Later

The treadmill gets more done than your bank account — and here’s why.

In this episode of Before the Returns, Jaden Zubal explores the difference between money that moves and money that works. Because just like running on a treadmill, constant motion doesn’t always mean progress.

You’ll learn how to identify when your money is simply cycling in and out — giving the illusion of activity — versus when it’s truly building momentum toward freedom.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The “Treadmill Effect” — why activity isn’t the same as progress
  • The difference between motion and momentum
  • How to give every dollar a job — turning income into working capital
  • Why investing in yourself often outperforms outside investments
  • How the Four Pillars of Wealth (structure, control, cash flow, and movement) help you measure true progress

🔑 Key takeaway:

“Working money serves you. Busy money owns you.”
 “Busy money keeps you tired. Working money keeps you free.”
