The Dumbest Financial Myths People Still Believe: Debunking 30 Money Lies That Keep You Poor

Still believing renting is throwing money away? Think a six-figure salary means you’re rich? Convinced saving will make you wealthy or that investing is only for “smart” people? The Dumbest Financial Myths People Still Believe exposes 30 of the most persistent, damaging lies about money—and dismantles them with surgical precision.
This isn’t another feel-good personal finance guide full of vague advice and budgeting clichés. Instead, it’s a myth-busting manifesto grounded in logic, strategy, and financial reality. Whether it’s the seductive promise that homeownership is always a great investment, the moral panic around credit cards, or the toxic idea that poverty is a personal failure, this book takes aim at the ideas that keep millions stuck—and helps readers finally move forward.
Each chapter tackles one myth, breaking it down with dry wit, clear logic, and no-fluff insight. It shows why traditional advice often misses the mark, how bad beliefs take root, and what actually works in today’s economy. No guru talk. No moralizing. Just sharp, honest analysis you can act on.
Perfect for professionals, side hustlers, skeptics, and anyone tired of being told the same tired money mantras, this book will change how you think about wealth—not with motivation, but with truth.
If you’ve ever wondered why doing “all the right things” isn’t working, this book is your answer.
