Friend -
The middle class is dying.
And it's not your imagination.
While technology erases jobs and government inflation silently steals your wealth, most people are getting crushed by this new reality.
But the rich play by completely different rules.
I've built wealth through three of these economic cycles.
And today, I want to give you the exact three-step escape plan that changed everything for me.
The Game That Changed My Perspective
My mentor Robert Kiyosaki created a game called Cash Flow. It's like Monopoly, but for wealth building.
In that game, you can draw the highest-paying career card (doctor making $13,200/month) or the lowest (janitor making $1,600/month)...
And the janitor can still win every time.
Why?
Because it's not about how much you make.
It's about the strategy you apply.
I prove this to my kids regularly. I take the janitor card, they take the doctor card, and I beat them every single time.
The difference? Mindset.
Two Mindsets, Two Different Lives
Consumer Mindset:
- Uses money to buy liabilities that lose value (cars, clothes, vacations)
- Uses debt to increase lifestyle (bigger house, bigger car)
- Plays not to lose (defensive, scarcity-based)
Investor Mindset:
- Uses money as a tool to buy assets that generate income
- Uses debt as leverage to acquire assets faster
- Plays to win (strategic, abundance-based)
This mindset shift alone took me from broke to millionaire.
The 3-Step Escape Plan
Step 1: Defend Your Dollars
You're fighting a two-front war:
- Taxes: Up to 50% of your income (depending on where you live)
- Inflation: The real rate is about 7% annually (not the 2-3% they tell you)
Since 2010, you've been losing 7% of your purchasing power every year to monetary debasement.
Your "raise" from $8/hour to $15/hour? When adjusted for inflation, your real wages have barely moved.
Step 2: Escape the Rat Race
Buy assets that beat the 7% debasement rate:
- Bitcoin: 80% average (last 10 years)
- NASDAQ 100: 17% average
- S&P 500: 14% average
But here's the key insight most people miss...
Step 3: Become Your Own Bank
This is where it gets interesting.
Never sell your appreciating assets. Ever.
Why?
Because if you sell, half goes to taxes and you lose the compounding effect forever.
Instead, borrow against them.
Let's say you bought an asset for $1 that grows to $10.
Instead of selling (and paying massive taxes), you borrow 10% against it and get your original $1 to use or invest somewhere else.
You harvest the appreciation without triggering taxes or losing the asset.
The Bitcoin Example
Let's say Bitcoin grows at 30% annually (about half its current rate).
By year 20, your original investment has exploded exponentially.
Meanwhile, the small amount of debt you've taken on grows much slower than your asset value.
The spread between asset appreciation and debt cost is pure profit.
This works with any appreciating asset - real estate, stocks, Bitcoin - as long as you understand "positive carry."
If your asset grows at 50% and you can borrow at 15%, you can do this forever.
The Mindset Shift
The biggest change isn't tactical. It's mental.
You have to stop thinking like a victim and start thinking like the architect of your own financial future.
You are not at the mercy of inflation, taxes, or economic cycles.
You can engineer your way out.
But most people won't make this shift. They'll keep playing defense, hoping their employer or the government will save them.
Neither is coming to save you.
> Your Next Move
If you want the complete blueprint for building your own wealth operating system, I'm doing something I've only done once before.
I'm going live for 3 days straight from my studio to show you exactly how to apply these strategies to your specific situation.
The "ROM" Framework LIVE Training September 9-11, 2025 9am-3pm Pacific
I'll give you 15 different tools and go deep into:
- How to reclaim 20+ hours per week
- Keep 30% more of what you make
- Turn $1 into $8 with smart asset stacking
This is the same training others paid $3,500 to get at my private wealth retreats.
But I'm making it free because I want to reach as many people as possible.
Fair warning: I'm capping attendance at 5,000 people.
