THEY TOLD YOU TO FOLLOW THE RULES. THEY LIED.
I am 77 years old. I have started eight companies, lived through seven decades of booms and busts, and I have run the numbers on the economy you just inherited.
You aren't crazy. The game is actually rigged.
The map my generation handed you—"go to college, get a safe job, save 10%"—is a relic. It leads to a dead end. Wages haven't kept up with housing, loyalty is a tax, and "safety" is the most dangerous investment you can make.
I wrote this book because I am tired of seeing young people blame themselves for a broken system. But complaining won't fix your bank account. Strategy will.
You don't need a lecture. You don't need a "manual." You need a toolkit.
In Cheat Codes, I am not going to give you motivational fluff. I am giving you the raw, unfair advantages I've learned over 50 years in the arena:
•The "No One Is Coming" Protocol: Why total responsibility is the only way to stop panicking and start building.
•
How to Hack Ownership: You can't work your way to wealth anymore. You have to own things. I'll show you how to move from "Renter" to "Owner" starting with just $50.
The AI Multiplier: Stop worrying about robots taking your job and start using them to do the work of ten people.
The Network Glitch: How to bypass gatekeepers and get into rooms where you "don't belong".
I have seen this movie before. I know how the hero wins. The system is broken. So stop trying to fix it.
Hack it.
