You know that feeling You spend years sitting in classrooms absorbing information passing tests, maybe even getting decent grades You learn about the mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell the intricacies of Shakespearean sonnets and how to solve for 'x' then graduated diploma in hand ready to conquer the world only to realize you have absolutely no clue how the money part actually works.

That hit me hard a few years after leaving the structured safety of education i was good at the game of school as I followed the rules jumped through the hoops got the piece of paper. But when it came to building actual wealth generating passive income or even just understanding how to make my money work for me instead of constantly working for it... I felt completely lost It was like being handed the keys to a complex machine with zero operating manual.

Think about it We spent countless hours dissecting historical events or memorizing chemical formulas valuable knowledge sure but when did we ever sit down and learn about how to created generational wealth and compounding money?
