In 'Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education' and 'Why A Students Work for C Students,' I reveal the secrets of the wealthy and what schools will never teach you about money.

Insight: There's something almost uncomfortable about how true this is. Most of us spend twelve years in school learning algebra, history, and essay structure, but almost nobody teaches us how money actually works—how debt can be a tool instead of just a burden, how assets differ from liabilities, or why rich families seem to understand financial strategy the way other people understand breathing. It's not a conspiracy so much as a structural blind spot: schools teach what's easily standardized and tested, not what's messiest and most personal. The real insight here isn't that you need to get rich quick or that grades don't matter. It's that financial literacy is almost always learned outside the classroom—from parents, from making mistakes, from reading the wrong books first. That gap means people with financial knowledge already in their family have an invisible head start, while everyone else has to either figure it out through trial and error or accidentally pay for that education through poor choices. The "secrets of the wealthy" aren't usually secret at all; they're just things that never get explained in ways that stick.
