Your 401(k) Is a Trap — And Nobody's Telling You | Joey Mure
from The Disruptive Capitalists · host Sam Sells
Joey Mure, co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street and author of "Wealth Without Wall Street: 3 Steps to Freedom Through Passive Income" — joins Sam Sells for a conversation that challenges everything you've been told about retirement and financial security.Joey makes a bold case: the 401(k) was never designed to make you wealthy. It was designed to shift retirement risk from corporations to you. Instead, Joey advocates for a radically different formula — passive income greater than monthly expenses equals financial freedom. It's the same formula that helped him build over $50,000/month in passive income.Sam adds his own perspective, sharing how growing up in poverty shaped his understanding of money and why trading time for money is a dead end. Together, they discuss the importance of financial education, why younger generations are rejecting traditional work models, and how AI-driven tools can help people access grants and government resources they didn't know existed.In this episode, you'll hear:→ Why the 401(k) is failing workers by design→ The passive income formula that changed Joey's life→ Why more income doesn't equal financial freedom→ Sam's journey from poverty to understanding passive income→ Why Gen Z and millennials are done with the traditional system→ AI-driven tools for accessing grants and government contracts→ How to build structured financial systems for independence🔗 Connect with Joey Mure:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joey-mure-b376824/https://www.facebook.com/wealthwithoutwallstreethttps://www.instagram.com/wealthwithoutwallsthttps://go.wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/disruptive-capitalist🔗 Connect with Sam Sellshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/samuelsells/https://www.facebook.com/impactsamuelfacebook.com/sam.sells.16instagram.com/thedisruptivecapitalistshttps://grantauthority.org🔗 Follow The Disruptive Capitalists:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-disruptive-capitalists/id1644437927Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1I5tdqJNcxCB2Qiu1lfZyJ?si=4a4cf07923394bb9YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@disruptivecapitalists/podcastsAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDW71563?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_PZGDSPN2ASGH1HR8PADYPandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-disruptive-capitalists/PC:1001025132⭐ Love the show?
