EP300: The Biggest Inflation Lie Ever Told (And How to Beat Them)

APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY

Imagine this: you wake up, check your account, and your $10,000 is now worth $8,196—without you spending a single dime.

That’s inflation, my friend.

It’s the silent thief that robs your wealth while politicians blame everything but the real cause.

Over the past six years, we’ve invested in over $300 million worth of multifamily 🏢 real estate—one of the strongest inflation-fighting assets.

And today, we’re sharing exactly how to thrive in this economic storm.

How Inflation is Draining Your Wallet (And Why They Don’t Want You to Know)

Let’s debunk some myths about inflation.

📌 Myth #1: Prices Just Go Up Over Time.
Not exactly. It’s not that things naturally get more expensive—it’s that your money is losing value because they’re printing more of it.

💰 Back in 1955, $1 could buy what $11.34 buys today.

📌 Myth #2: Inflation is Due to Supply Chain Issues.
This was the official story in 2022. But new research from MIT just revealed the real culprit.

Here’s the hard truth:

💥 42% of the inflation spike came directly from government spending.
💥 Not supply chain issues. Not greedy corporations. Not global events.

Let’s break this down so it’s crystal clear.

The 3 REAL Causes of Inflation (And What They Don’t Want You to Know)

NO. 1 Government Spending (42%)—The “Soup Problem”

The more money the government prints, the less each dollar is worth.

Imagine making a delicious pot of soup. If you keep adding water but no new ingredients, the flavor gets weaker and weaker.

That’s exactly what happened with your money.

📊 From 1776 to 2020, the U.S. printed $15.4 trillion.
📊 In just TWO YEARS (2020-2022), they printed $6.3 TRILLION more.
📊 That’s like printing $8.6 million every minute for two years straight.

Now, inflation isn’t just a random economic event—it’s a policy choice.

NO. 2 Inflation Expectations (17%)—The “Psychology Trap”

Here’s the sneaky part: inflation is part psychology, part reality.

When people expect prices to rise, they:
✅ Start hoarding goods
✅ Rush to buy assets (like real estate)
✅ Businesses raise prices in anticipation

And just like that? It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

NO. 3 Interest Rate Hikes (14%)—The “Hidden Cost”

In an attempt to control inflation, the Fed hiked interest rates.

What happened next?

🏡 Mortgage rates jumped from 3% to over 7%.
💳 Credit card debt became more expensive.
💼 Small businesses struggled to borrow.

Bottom line?

The cost of EVERYTHING went up.

Meanwhile, supply chain issues—the excuse we kept hearing—had barely any impact.

The Spending Spiral: How The Government is Making It Worse

Here’s what’s happening right now:

📢 The U.S. government is spending $4 billion MORE per day than it takes in.

🕑 That’s $166 million every hour.
⏳ That’s $2.7 million every minute.
💰 That’s $45,000 every second.

And who pays the price? You. Your savings. Your future.

Want proof?

If you saved $10,000 in 2019, it’s worth only $8,196 today.

🚨 This isn’t some theoretical issue. This is your grocery bill, your gas, your rent. Everything costs more, and your paycheck isn’t keeping up.

So How Do You Beat Inflation? Here’s Your 3-Step Plan.

📌 STEP 1: Know What Needs to Change (Even If Washington Won’t Do It).

The government has three ways to fix inflation:

1️⃣ Cut Non-Essential Spending—We have 450+ agencies with overlapping responsibilities. Reducing bureaucracy alone could save hundreds of billions.
2️⃣ Reform Social Security & Medicare—These make up 35% of the federal budget and are growing unsustainably.
3️⃣ Zero-Based Budgeting—Instead of automatic budget increases, every dollar must be justified.

Now, will they actually do these things? Who knows.

But here’s what YOU can do right now to protect your money.

📌 STEP 2: Build an Inflation-Proof Portfolio (The Right Way).

Here’s what wealthy people do when inflation hits.

1. Invest in Inflation-Resistant Assets.

✅ Multifamily Real Estate (100+ Units).
➡️ Why? Because rents rise with inflation.
➡️ Big properties = economies of scale.
➡️ Operating costs are spread across units.

✅ Hard Assets (Real Estate, Gold, Commodities).
➡️ These hold their value over time.
➡️ Unlike cash, they CAN’T be printed into oblivion.

2. Create Multiple Income Streams.

💰 Real estate rental income (our personal favorite)
📈 Stock dividends
💼 Business distributions

Relying on one income source is dangerous. Diversify.

📌 STEP 3: Get Your Money Out of the Danger Zone.

🚨 The bank is NOT the safest place for your money.

💸 Inflation is eroding your savings.
💳 Interest rates on debt are climbing.
💰 The government is spending like there’s no tomorrow.

If you want to actually protect your wealth? Invest in assets that grow while the dollar shrinks.

💡 You now KNOW the truth about inflation.
