Click Here to Get All Podcast Show Notes! You’re not bad with money. You’ve just been taught three lies that almost guarantee you’ll stay stuck in the same financial cycle. In this episode, Sharran breaks down three deeply ingrained lies about money that most people learn early and never question. These beliefs shape how people earn, spend, and invest, often keeping them trapped in cycles of high income but low wealth. Sharran explains why income and wealth are not the same thing, showing how real wealth comes from converting income into assets rather than lifestyle upgrades. He also explores the importance of maintaining a financial gap between earning and spending, highlighting how lifestyle inflation silently destroys long-term wealth building. Through personal stories, behavioral insights, and real-world examples, this episode reframes money as a system of discipline, patience, and awareness–not just earning power. It’s a wake-up call for anyone who wants to build real, lasting wealth. “When you realize that no one else cares, it's a lot easier to build some insane wealth.” - Sharran Srivatsaa Timestamps: 02:08 - Income and wealth are not the same thing 05:52 - Lottery winners and why wealth disappears without investing skills 06:42 - Understanding the wealth gap 08:54 - Profit first vs. invest first mindset 09:28 - Spending does not automatically signal success 10:57 - Why wealthy people often live simply 12:22 - Recap: 3 Lies about money Resources: - The Next Billion by Sharran Srivatsaa - https://sharransrivatsaa.substack.com/ - Acquisition.com - https://www.acquisition.com/ - ACQ Real Estate - https://acqre.acquisition.com/ - Board Member: ARC Multifamily Real Estate Investing - https://arcmf.com/ - Board Member: The Real Brokerage - https://www.joinreal.com/ Connect with Sharran: - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/likesharran - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharransrivatsaa/ - X - https://x.com/sharran - LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharran - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzpl_gT1bVB1iNZl9yQbWuA?sub_confirmation=1 - Threads - https://www.threads.com/@sharransrivatsaa
