The Middle-Class Trap: Why Smart People Stay Broke


Listen Later

“Conquering school doesn't mean you'll conquer money. That’s a different degree...one they don’t hand out.”

Degrees. Good jobs. Big salaries. So why are so many smart, high-achieving people still living paycheck to paycheck? In this episode, Jaspreet breaks down the trap that keeps the middle class stuck. It’s not about how much you earn. It’s about what you do with it. Learn how to shift from income to ownership, and why financial education is the degree that really builds wealth.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why high salaries don’t guarantee financial freedom

  • How taxes, lifestyle creep, and lack of investing keep smart people broke

  • The difference between being educated and being financially educated

  • Why saving alone won’t cut it (even in a high-yield account)

  • How to turn your job income into capital for wealth

  • What Jaspreet learned by skipping medical school to study money instead

    Playing it the old way just keeps you broke in a nicer car.
