Why 99% of Guys My Age Are Broke in 2026 (And How I Escaped)

Hard work is how you survive your circumstances. Systems are how you buy back your life. ⚙️

Look around right now. Between record-high inflation, a crippled economy, and the chaos of the US/Iran war, everyone has a perfectly good excuse to be broke, stressed, and drowning in debt.

But here is the brutal truth: Excuses are for the weak. When I was 16, I watched my dad build a mechanic shop from the dirt up. He was a first-generation immigrant with zero English. He didn’t have a network, a trust fund, or a safety net. All he had was his bare hands and an absolute refusal to quit. He taught me a legacy of hard work, and I took that exact same blue-collar grit and applied it to my own life.

Today, I am 25 years old. I have a wife, four kids, a full-time job, several degrees, and I am 100% debt-free. I didn't get lucky. I just stopped making excuses.

In this video, I am giving you the exact Hormozi-style math and GaryVee tough love you need to hear. I’m breaking down the Entitlement Trap keeping my generation broke, the actual math of how I budgeted out of debt with a massive family, and the "Show Up" rule that separates the winners from the complainers.

No matter what your background is or what age you are, if you are willing to consistently show up and eat dirt, you will reach success. Grinding will get you out of the hole. (And once you're out, we build the systems to keep you out). 🚀
