Mark Cuban just called BS on every piece of financial advice you've heard about your 20s. While everyone's telling you to save more and spend less, he's saying the opposite: your 20s aren't about accumulating money, they're about rewiring your brain for wealth. In this episode, Kara Preston breaks down why the traditional path is keeping you broke and what actually separates people who get rich from those who stay stuck.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• Why your brain's final development phase (ages 20-25) is your secret weapon for wealth building

• The "aspirational hourly rate" trick that makes millionaires think differently about every decision

• How 20 minutes of daily focused attention can literally rewire your brain for success

• Why most people's money advice for twentysomethings is scientifically backwards

👤 Perfect for: entrepreneurs and ambitious twentysomethings who suspect there's a better way than the standard "save 10% and invest in index funds" advice.
