Welcome back to the Building Your Money Machine Show! In this episode, we’re shining a light on the WORST investment lies that too many finance gurus still tell — and that may be keeping you stuck, stressed, and second-guessing your financial future.

Have you ever noticed how those so-called experts make wealth building sound as easy as ordering takeout? Just click a button, sit back, and supposedly your net worth skyrockets overnight. Well, real investing isn’t full of fairy dust or secret formulas—so today, I’m rolling up my sleeves to bust five of the biggest half-truths, myths, and lies I’ve heard in my 30+ years in finance (and yes, I’ve repeated some of them myself — nobody’s immune!).

I’m breaking it all down with real numbers, real risks, and stories that reveal what actually works, minus the fluff. Grab your drink, your calculator, and let’s cut through the noise together!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I COVER:

• Why the “market always averages 10-12% per year” is a misleading myth
• The pitfalls of putting all your money in the S&P 500 and why oversimplification can hurt your wealth-building journey
• The truth about dollar cost averaging — how it works, when it doesn’t, and why sequence of returns risk matters as you start drawing from your portfolio
• The fallacy of needing to “beat the market” — and what history really tells us about pros versus everyday investors
