Key Takeaways: Understand what inflation really is: Traditional finance often explains inflation the wrong way. Knowing what causes it helps you protect and grow your wealth. Income isn’t the same as wealth: Making more money isn’t enough—you need to invest in rare assets that grow faster than inflation. Know how central banks work: Since central banks control the flow of money, understanding their actions can help you spot trends and grow your wealth. Borrow smartly instead of selling: Using your assets as collateral lets you access cash without losing your long-term investments. Invest in scarce assets: Putting money into things like Bitcoin or real estate can protect you from the falling value of government-controlled currency.  Chapters:Timestamp Summary 0:00 Understanding Inflation and Wealth Through Energy Principles 4:31 Understanding Government, Central Banks, and Bitcoin’s Role in Economy 14:40 Embracing Creativity Over Consumerism for Personal Empowerment 16:38 Leveraging Scarce Assets for Financial Growth and Stability 23:19 Scarcity and Wealth Building in an Inflationary Economy 27:36 Emotional Intelligence in Investing Amid Ideological Differences Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?
