Building Your Money Machine

Financial Literacy is The Lowest it's Ever Been (This is Sad)

12 Jun 2025

Description

Welcome back to another revealing episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I’m diving into a topic that’s honestly got me more fired up than ever before: the sad truth that financial literacy is the lowest it’s ever been—even with all the tech, all the YouTube gurus, and TikTok “experts” you can scroll through in a day.Let’s face it—something’s gone off the rails. People still think credit cards are free money. Buying luxury cars with no assets to back them. Racking up overdraft fees, draining 401(k)s, signing onto student loans they don't understand, and hoping for forgiveness that may never come. This episode is about breaking down some of the most cringeworthy and all-too-common financial missteps I’ve seen floating around online (and that my team has graciously pulled together for us to react to).I’m here to break down what should have been done, what needs to change, and how you (or someone you care about) can avoid these money traps. You’ll get real talk, straightforward strategies, and plenty of tough love, so you can sidestep these mistakes—and build your own money machine.IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:The confusion around how banking and fractional reserve systems really workHow overdraft fees are like stepping on Legos in the darkThe real cost of using debt to fund your lifestyleThe hard truth about student loansWhy “living in the moment” without a plan leads to future stressProtecting relationships by setting healthy money boundaries with friends and familyRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOUIf you liked this episode, click here to enjoy these and more:https://melabraham.com/show/10 Habits Of The "Fake Rich" You Need To AvoidLife Lessons I Wish I Knew Earlier - Here's what matters most14 Hidden Expenses That Silently Destroy Your Wealth40 Years as an Accountant - This is What Rich People Regret MostWhy You Need To Start Automating Wealth CreationRECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU If you liked this video, you'll love these ones:10 Habits Of The "Fake Rich" You Need To Avoid: https://youtu.be/Ijofyr-YtXYLife Lessons I Wish I Knew Earlier - Here's what matters most: https://youtu.be/CChh8Zd36UI14 Hidden Expenses That Silently Destroy Your Wealth: https://youtu.be/z13QSTIdaW840 Years as an Accountant - This is What Rich People Regret Most: https://youtu.be/x8_f0g_EjVEORDER MY NEW USA TODAY BESTSELLING BOOK:Building Your Money Machine: How to Get Your Money to Work Harder For You Than You Did For It!The key to building the life you desire and deserve is to build your Money Machine—a powerful system designed to generate income that’s no longer tied to your work or efforts.
