In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, Andrew breaks down the seven types of income that separate people living paycheck-to-paycheck from those building real wealth—from earned income where you trade time for money, to royalty income that pays you forever without lifting a finger, showing you exactly how to climb the ladder from working for money to having money work for you.
Here's what we're covering today:
💼 Earned Income: The starting line where you trade time for money
💸 Profit Income: How business ownership turns effort into scalable leverage
💰 Interest Income: Money that works while you sleep
📈 Dividend Income: Getting paid just for owning assets
🏠 Rental Income: Building wealth through hard assets and other people's money
📊 Capital Gains: The wealth multiplier that creates life-changing money
💡 Royalty Income: Infinite leverage where your ideas earn money forever

How 401(K) Sprints Can Make You A Multi-Millionaire (By AGE!)
In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, Andrew introduces the 401k Sprint strategy—a game-changing approach where you max out retirement contributions for just 5-10 years instead of grinding for 30-40 years straight, proving that a 25-year-old who contributes $23,500 annually for only 5 years can retire with over $2 million while someone starting at 60 can still add $430,000 in just 5 years using catch-up contributions. He breaks down the exact numbers for sprints starting in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, explains the difference between traditional and Roth 401k strategies, and shows why the 2-on/2-off cycle approach (maxing contributions for 2 years, taking 2 years off, and repeating) can still build nearly $3 million by retirement—proving that short bursts of intense saving combined with compound growth can beat decades of mediocre contributions.
