Get ready to revolutionize the way you think about money, inflation and the impending recession?
On today’s episode of Impact Theory we have Jaspreet Singh, Chief Executive Money Nerd at Minority Mindset Companies from Punjab, India. He has been putting in the work to spread financial education and opportunity on KZbin for years and if financial literacy wasn’t a class you took in school, this is your chance to improve your knowledge around building wealth and getting rich.
The majority of people will unfortunately continue to become poor and the harsh reality for many is that they won’t even see what’s happening in time, if at all. And few understand the government's role in the financial system, who the Feds are, and how wealthy, financially educated people think and use money differently from poor, financially uneducated people.
During this conversation, we touch on:
- Emotional fulfillment and ambition in building wealth
- Passive investing with ETFs
- Government spending, stimulus checks, and consumer spending habits
- Active vs. passive investing
- Misconceptions about wealth and the primary way to build generational wealth
- Importance of financial education
- Different avenues for building equity
- Effects of money printing and inflation
- Concept of workers vs. owners
- Long-term investment versus short-term gains
- Risks of over-leveraging and economic upheaval
- Dollar-cost averaging and the value of long-term investing
- Importance of owning assets in the face of government action
- The impact of inflation on savings and wealth gap
Start turning the tables and making better financial decisions to not just prepare for a potential recession, but to also start building real wealth.

Powerful Insights From Jaspreet Singh:
“The interesting thing about the Federal Reserve Bank is it’s called the Federal Reserve Bank, however it’s not federal, it says so on their website. They’re not a reserve, they don’t keep cash reserves anywhere. They’re not a bank! You and I can’t go there to deposit money.”
“If you understand the system, you can use it to your advantage. If you don't understand the system, it is going to screw you over many, many, many times.”
“Inflation is what causes the supply chain issues and now we’re trying to go backwards, but this is where the rich get rich and the poor get poorer...”
“Inflation now is a hidden tax, it’s a silent tax. It affects the people that don’t understand money, and it disproportionately affects the poor and the financially uneducated, [...] if you don’t understand this you’re going to get screwed over.”
“I was dumb because I didn’t really care about risk, I never even looked at risk, for me it was opportunity, that’s all I saw. It was a way for me to get started.”
“Everybody in America should be a business owner, however, not everybody should be in the business of starting a company and not everybody should be in the business of operating a company.”
“I like to call it net zero thinking, where if I have cash I need to spend it, [...] it’s the consumer mindset of, if I have this money, I need to spend it.”
“You’re never going to be able to out save inflation. Your savings are literally making you poorer each and every day.”
“You have to be the one now to go out of your way to start learning this, and thank God for KZbin because now we’ve decentralized education.”
"You lower some of your upside, but you also lower some of your downside, because now if you run through that same scenario where the McDonald's executives run the corporation into the ground and they go bankrupt, well, you have 499 other companies in the portfolio, so you're okay."

Yea, I thought the same thing. I remember that FTX nonsense. But Tom has been doing a bad job questioning his guests properly. He often agrees with their point of view because he is in the same economic class as them. It's fine if Tom mostly agrees with what these guests are saying, but at least point out the counter argument on why your view could be wrong. Not sure why I bother clicking on these interviews anymore.

[@kluu5088]

At the end of the day, if the govt can print money on demand why does anything else matter, taxes, consumer spending etc are irrelevant. Besides printing there’s hundreds of billions of dollars flowing back into the US from all over the world because the dollar has been weaponized. The US govt wants inflation so the debt seems smaller. If the basket they use to gauge inflation included the proper items current inflation would read 18-20% min, don’t let the manipulated inflation/economic data put out by the same govt fool you.

[@user-lb8bg6kj9m]

Taxes are a means of forcing you to provide value to that worthless fiat.. value which those connected to the central bank get to steal by printing. It is no coincidence that the Federal Reserve and IRS came into being at the same time. A closed loop mechanism of one side printing and the other side siphoning off.

[@christopherbuckley7544]

People change when the pain of change becomes less than the pain of staying the same. Until we realize the breadth and depth to which the pain of poverty destroys all, the wealthy will continue to believe they will suffer nothing, and continue to destroy all in the arrogant belief of doing good.

Jim Rohn - “I can tell you gentleman, the 80s are going to be like it’s always been”. Tom it’s unfortunate how down the rabbit hole you’ve gone with this. There is always something to be worried about. The stoics knew this 2,000 years ago, all you can do is focus on the growth of your life and inspire people through making positive changes. Yes, you are making positive changes and my comment is a meaningless comment amongst thousands (by the way I love what you do), but please try and escape this stuff. Our lives go by and then we end up on our death bed constantly being scared of stuff we have very little control over. The fed, the WHO, WEF, etc. Anyway, you won’t read this which is fine 🤣 best of luck man just something to think about.

Havnt listen yet, but just from the title is what I’m trying to solve with my start up. We need to intertwine spending and consumerism with investing and ownership automatically.

It may not be possible now, depending on the volume of private traders, but there is a third option to trying to beat Wall Street, and that’s by very closely shadowing their moves. You’ll beat a lot of other traders out there just doing that, and that’s actually all you have to do. If you had to beat the big pros, you’d never win…but that is a false assumption. You only have to beat 1 other trader, on each trade.

Why do people think you’re competing against other traders when you trade.

It just means you’re percentage/delta would be better but it doesn’t affect my trade to the degree that you’re saying it does. Am I wrong?
