You Were Never Meant to Understand Money

It’s not because you didn’t go to business school.

Not because you haven’t read enough books, watched enough CNBC, or followed enough “experts.”

It’s because the system was designed to keep you confused just enough to stay compliant.

This Is How Control Works

When people don’t understand how the machine works, they don’t ask who’s pulling the levers.

They don’t question why inflation “targets” are considered a good thing.

They don’t wonder how the Fed can “print” $5 trillion with a keyboard while wages stay frozen.

They don’t notice that the cost of money—interest—is manipulated by people they didn’t elect.

Instead, they do what they’re told:

• Save in dollars while the dollar is being devalued.

• Work harder while asset owners get richer in their sleep.

• Celebrate the stock market while their real-world purchasing power quietly erodes.

The less you understand, the more you trust.

And trust, in this context, is profitable—for them.

Money Isn’t Complicated. It’s Made Complicated.

Have you ever noticed how much economic jargon sounds like a spell?

None of it is meant to inform. It’s meant to exclude.

To push you away from understanding—and deeper into dependence.

If you knew what was actually happening, you’d opt out.

And they know that.

You Can’t Escape a Game You Don’t Know You’re In

You weren’t taught how money works.

You were taught how to use it, obey it, and stay within the lines.

But here’s the truth:

• Money is losing value.

• The system is shifting under your feet.

• And those who understand it aren’t just surviving—they’re using this moment to gain generational wealth while everyone else waits for things to “go back to normal.”

Spoiler: they won’t.

The moment you understand that, you stop playing defense.
