Think inflation is under control at 2%? Think again.

In this episode, I expose the truth behind the real inflation rate and why your money is losing value faster than you've been led to believe. From government manipulation of inflation data to what financial advisors don't want you to know, I break down how inflation has been quietly robbing your wealth and what you can do about it.

We start by comparing the official inflation numbers to what everyday Americans are actually experiencing. I reference ShadowStats.com a site created by an economist who discovered discrepancies in government inflation calculations starting in the 1980s. Using their original 1980-based calculation, we see that real inflation today may be closer to 8-10%, not the 2.5% the government claims. That's a massive difference, and one that could mean financial ruin if you're planning your retirement based on false numbers.

I illustrate this with powerful visual examples (including one involving Shaq and Kevin Hart), plus data from the Federal Reserve's own M2 Money Supply charts, which show the massive increase in printed money since 2020. If the Fed is still pumping money into the economy, why would inflation be dropping?

Then I dive into how this misinformation affects you personally. I walk through real-world examples using financial calculators to show how even a 1–2% change in inflation assumptions can drastically alter your retirement outlook. I expose how financial advisors manipulate inflation numbers to make your projected portfolio look stronger than it really is. This leads to overconfidence in traditional retirement planning models, ones that are already based on overly optimistic return assumptions from mutual funds.

Bottom line: you can't just sit back and hope for the best. Inflation isn't going away. If anything, it's worsening and silently stealing your purchasing power. If you're relying solely on a 401(k), IRA, or the stock market to retire, you're putting yourself at serious risk.

This episode is a wake-up call and a blueprint. I emphasize the need for passive income strategies that outpace inflation and why real assets like alternative investments or cash-flowing business ventures are essential to protect your wealth in this new economic reality.

If you want to beat inflation instead of being buried by it, this episode gives you the straight talk (and the numbers) to start thinking and investing differently today.
