Everything School Never Taught You About Money (25-Minute Wake-Up Call)

“Saving money won’t make you rich. It’s just making everyone else richer while you fall behind.”
If school taught us how money really works, most of us wouldn’t be stuck trading time for paychecks. In this episode, Jaspreet shares the five lessons about money every young person should’ve learned before turning 20, from understanding what money actually is to how wealthy people think, spend, and build freedom.
He breaks down why saving alone keeps you poor, how to use debt the right way, and why the people who look rich usually aren’t. This is the financial reality check you wish your high school teacher had the guts to give you.
What You’ll Learn:
Why dollars lose value every day and what to do about it
How wealthy people work for equity, not paychecks
The trap of “looking rich” and how it keeps most people broke
The right and wrong ways to use debt
How to make mistakes early and still win big later
A no-fluff 25-minute crash course in everything school never taught you, so you can stop playing the wrong money game.

Never Keep Over This Amount In Your Bank Account – Here’s Why

“Keeping all of your money in your bank account is actually more risky than it is safe.”
Jaspreet breaks down why parking piles of cash in a bank gets eaten by inflation—especially as rates get cut—and shows exactly how much to keep in cash vs. what to move into assets.
You’ll learn the difference between cash vehicles (HYSA, CDs, Treasuries) and assets (stocks, real estate, gold, crypto), how to set up separate accounts for emergencies, big purchases, and investable cash, and the simple passive/active strategies to actually grow wealth.

How much to keep in cash (and where to keep it) for:
Emergency fund (3–12 months of expenses)
Big purchases (house/car/vacation)
“Dry powder” for investing
Cash options vs. protection basics (bank accounts, CDs, HYSAs, Treasuries, Treasury ETFs)
Asset options to outpace inflation (stocks, real estate; plus how gold/crypto/startups fit)
Investing approaches:

Active: research-led buys while idle cash earns interest

You’ve Been Lied To About Building Wealth

“The money game has changed, but most people are playing like it’s still 1995.”
School told you to study hard, get a good job, save a little, and you’ll retire rich.
