"You did what the system told you was right. You studied hard in school. You got a good job. And now you're getting a good paycheck, but you have no wealth to show for it. It's not an accident. It's how the system keeps you stuck."
Most people follow the conventional path: degree, good job, steady paycheck. Yet still end up broke at the end of each month. This episode breaks down exactly how that happens, why the system is designed to keep it that way, and what it takes to break out of it for good.
Jaspreet Singh walks through a step-by-step financial reset. From cutting expenses aggressively and eliminating debt to building a savings buffer and developing an investing strategy. He then pairs it with four mindset shifts that have to happen before any of the practical changes will stick.
