The Money Lies That Keep You Poor - Machiavelli

Your parents lied to you about money. Not because they were bad people—but because they believed the lies their parents told them. And now you're passing the same lies to your children. This is how poverty becomes generational. In this video, I expose the 7 money lies you inherited—beliefs that sound like wisdom but function as chains. From "work hard and you'll get rich" to "playing it safe is smart," these myths have kept entire families trapped in financial struggle for generations. 🔥 The 7 Money Lies Exposed: LIE 1: "Work Hard and You'll Get Rich" - Why effort alone never builds wealth LIE 2: "Save Money and You'll Be Safe" - How saving actually makes you poorer LIE 3: "Follow Your Passion" - Why passion without profit leads to poverty LIE 4: "Money is the Root of Evil" - The guilt that keeps you broke LIE 5: "Rich People Are Just Lucky" - Why this belief makes you passive LIE 6: "You Need Money to Make Money" - The excuse that stops you before you start LIE 7: "Playing It Safe is Smart" - Why safety is actually the riskiest strategy Each lie sounds reasonable. Each feels true. And each one is designed to keep you exactly where your parents were—working, struggling, and passing the same limiting beliefs to the next generation. Machiavelli understood in The Prince that power maintains itself through accepted beliefs. And the modern economy runs on seven fundamental lies about money that keep the majority poor while a minority thrives. This isn't about blaming your parents. It's about breaking the cycle. Once you see these lies for what they are, you can reject them—and build wealth instead of inheriting struggle. 0:00 - Intro: The Inheritance 2:34 - LIE 1: "Work Hard and You'll Get Rich" 5:24 - LIE 2: "Save Money and You'll Be Safe" 8:32 - LIE 3: "Follow Your Passion" 11:51 - LIE 4: "Money is the Root of Evil" 15:17 - LIE 5: "Rich People Are Just Lucky" 18:56 - LIE 6: "You Need Money to Make Money" 22:08 - LIE 7: "Playing It Safe is Smart" 25:15 - Transformation: Breaking The Cycle 26:54 - Closing: The Inheritance Ends With You 💬 COMMENT BELOW: Which lie did you inherit?
