For decades, we’ve been sold a dream—graduate high school, go to college, land a stable job, buy a house, and retire comfortably. But here’s the harsh truth: that dream is outdated, a relic of a system designed to keep you dependent, not free.

I spent 20 years flipping houses and saw firsthand how people’s lives unraveled due to poor financial planning, government dependence, and blind faith in a system that does not have their best interests at heart. People ignore their health for decades, then sacrifice their wealth trying to regain it. They live paycheck to paycheck, convinced that Social Security will sustain them in retirement, only to be blindsided when reality hits.

At what point do we wake up and realize we are being led down a path of quiet desperation? The system wants you trapped—buried in debt, hooked on instant gratification, and too exhausted to question anything. The only way out is through self-education, financial independence, and a willingness to unlearn everything we’ve been taught.

It’s time to take control. Your future self will thank you for the choices you make today. Break the cycle, or it will break you.
