EPISODE 131
Millenials Were Sold A Lie... Here's The New Path To Wealth
Go to uni, get a good job, climb the corporate ladder, buy a house, and everything will work out. That was the promise. And for an entire generation of millennials, it’s turned out to be one of the biggest lies ever told.
What if everything you were told about building wealth… was wrong?
In this episode, Matt Raad breaks down why the traditional path, go to university, get a stable job, buy property, is no longer working for most millennials.
After coaching thousands of students and sitting down with Steph, a former high school teacher turned digital entrepreneur, Matt shares a hard truth: high income doesn’t equal financial freedom anymore. Rising costs, massive mortgages, and capped salaries are leaving even successful professionals stuck with no real path forward.
Instead, he makes the case for building a lifestyle freedom business, one that creates income, flexibility, and control over your time.
If you’re a high achiever feeling stuck, burnt out, or questioning the path you’re on, this episode will challenge how you think about money, work, and freedom. The old wealth playbook is broken. This is what replaces it.
Today, You Will Learn:
- Why the “safe” path is actually riskier than ever.
- How a $1M+ mortgage can become a financial anchor.
- The mindset shift required to break out of the system.
- Why digital businesses are the lowest-risk way to start.
- What real freedom actually looks like (hint: it’s not flashy).
