“Keeping all of your money in your bank account is actually more risky than it is safe.”

Jaspreet breaks down why parking piles of cash in a bank gets eaten by inflation—especially as rates get cut—and shows exactly how much to keep in cash vs. what to move into assets.

You’ll learn the difference between cash vehicles (HYSA, CDs, Treasuries) and assets (stocks, real estate, gold, crypto), how to set up separate accounts for emergencies, big purchases, and investable cash, and the simple passive/active strategies to actually grow wealth.

• The problem with low-yield savings when inflation is higher

• How much to keep in cash (and where to keep it) for:

  • Emergency fund (3–12 months of expenses)

  • Big purchases (house/car/vacation)

  • “Dry powder” for investing

• Cash options vs. protection basics (bank accounts, CDs, HYSAs, Treasuries, Treasury ETFs)

• Asset options to outpace inflation (stocks, real estate; plus how gold/crypto/startups fit)

• Investing approaches:

  • Passive: ABB: Always Be Buying (index/ETF habit)

  • Active: research-led buys while idle cash earns interest

00:00 Hook: Why big bank balances lose you money 01:18 Cash vs. assets (and why cash isn’t an “investment”) 04:05 Rates, inflation, and your real return 07:20 Where to park cash: HYSA, CDs, Treasuries, ETFs 10:42 The 3 reasons to save (emergency, big purchase, invest) 14:50 How much is enough: 3–12 months explained 18:22 Passive vs. Active investing (ABB + research) 22:10 Putting it together: your cash + investing game plan 25:30 Final word & resources

“Wealthy people have an investing playbook: a system that works whether markets boom, crash, or move sideways.”

Jaspreet breaks down the 5-step playbook he wishes he had on Day 1: how to fund your investments automatically, choose between cash flow vs. growth, pick a strategy (passive, outsourced, or active), design a real portfolio across asset classes, and set a smart selling + tax plan. Less guessing, more compounding.

• The money-flow system: 75/15/10 (or 50/30/20 if you’re going aggressive) + 3 separate bank accounts

• Cash Flow vs. Growth: how to pick, and why starting with one matters

• Strategy tiers: Passive (ABB: Always Be Buying), Outsourced (AUM & fees), Active (research-first)

• Portfolio design beyond stocks: business, real estate, stocks, speculative (startups/crypto), gold

• Selling & taxes: when to trim, 1.5% AUM math, and why real estate’s 1031 exchange can defer taxes

00:00 Hook: The playbook the wealthy use 01:02 Step 1 — Get the money to invest (75/15/10, 3 accounts, automation) 05:28 Step 2 — Define your goal: cash flow vs. growth 09:10 Step 3 — Choose a strategy: Passive, Outsourced, or Active 15:22 Step 4 — Build the portfolio (asset classes & real diversification) 21:05 Step 5 — Selling rules, fees, and taxes (1031s, capitals gains) 25:40 Putting it together: the playbook in one page

Keywords: investing playbook, how to start investing 2025, cash flow vs growth investing, ABB always be buying, 75/15/10 rule, investing strategy passive vs active, diversify beyond stocks, real estate investing basics, AUM fees explained, 1031 exchange basics, Minority Mindset

“The money game has changed, but most people are playing like it’s still 1995.”

School told you to study hard, get a good job, save a little, and you’ll retire rich. Reality check: underemployment is rampant, AI is reshaping jobs, savings lose to inflation, and Social Security is strained. In this episode, Jaspreet breaks down how the system actually works, and how to use it to your advantage.

• The 3 rules of money:

  1. Money flows to owners/investors

  2. Inflation benefits owners, not spenders

  3. The tax code rewards investors over W-2 income

• Why “be a business owner” can mean buying the business (owning shares), not starting one

• The 75/15/10 system to automate spending, investing, and saving (with 3 bank accounts)

• How to use banks, corporations, and the tax code for you (not against you)

• Why downturns (2000, 2008, 2020, 2022) create buying opportunities for prepared investors

00:00 Hook: You’ve been lied to 01:08 Why the old playbook fails (jobs, AI, inflation, Social Security) 04:20 Who really profits: consumers vs. businesses vs. investors 07:12 Rule #1: Money flows to owners 09:10 Rule #2: Inflation’s hidden transfer of wealth 11:45 Rule #3: Taxes—W-2 vs. investor income 14:20 “Be a business owner” by buying pieces of great companies 17:05 The 75/15/10 plan + 3 accounts automation 21:00 Smart saving (emergency/big purchases) vs. investing 24:10 Avoid desperation traps & get-rich-quick pitches 27:30 Using downturns to your advantage 30:00 Action plan & next steps

Keywords: building wealth 2025, new rules of money, why the rich get richer, investor vs employee taxes, inflation explained for investors, become a business owner by buying stocks, 75/15/10 rule, automate investing three bank accounts, Minority Mindset wealth, Social Security retirement crisis, how to start investing, downturn buying opportunities
