What Schools Never Teach You About Getting Rich

A Harvard-educated attorney sits in his corner office, earning six figures, yet feels trapped. A lottery winner celebrates a $10 million jackpot, only to file bankruptcy three years later. Meanwhile, someone who never finished college builds a real estate empire worth hundreds of millions. What separates these outcomes isn't luck, education, or even starting capital-it's something far more fundamental that our schools systematically fail to teach. This gap in our education system creates a world where high earners remain perpetually broke while others with modest incomes build lasting wealth. The difference lies not in how much money you make, but in your financial intelligence-your ability to solve money problems rather than be paralyzed by them. When the rules of money fundamentally changed in 1971 and again in 1974, most people kept playing by the old rulebook, wondering why financial security became increasingly elusive. Understanding this shift is the first step toward building real wealth.
