Your House Is Keeping You Broke
Your house might feel like wealth, but Grant Cardone says it could be the thing keeping your money trapped. In this clip, Grant breaks down why a single-family home is not the same as income-producing real estate, and why millions in equity can still be dead money.
Zeke Faux tries to defend his Brooklyn house as a smart investment. Grant challenges him with the math, the opportunity cost, the cash flow problem, and the real question every homeowner needs to ask: do you own the house, or does the house own you?
This is not an anti-real-estate lesson. This is a 10X wealth lesson about buying assets that pay you, not liabilities that force you to keep paying.
Grant explains why entrepreneurs, investors, salespeople, and business owners need to think differently about real estate, wealth, financial freedom, investing, scaling, and personal responsibility. If your money is sitting still, it is not working. If it is not producing cash flow, it may not be an asset.
In this video, you will learn how to:
Challenge the belief that buying a house automatically builds wealth
Identify the difference between dead equity and cash-flowing assets
Understand why multifamily real estate can outperform single-family ownership
Calculate the opportunity cost of trapped home equity
Shift your mindset from comfort and status to income, scale, and financial freedom
Grant Cardone brings the 10X mindset to one of the biggest financial decisions people make: where they put their money. If you want success, wealth, business growth, leadership, client acquisition, and freedom, you cannot just own things that make you feel rich. You need assets that pay you.
Watch the full clip, run the math on your own life, and stop letting dead money slow you down. Execute. Scale. Build wealth the 10X way.

I’m new to cryptocurrency and have been experiencing significant losses. I would appreciate any advice or beginner-friendly strategies you could share.
If the losses continue, it may be wise to step back from trading on your own for now.
Cassie knowledge is the hidden formula behind real results.
I’m genuinely surprised to see Cassie mentioned here-she’s an incredible person who has brought so much positivity and inspiration into my life.
Trading has offered many opportunities to investors to build a high portfolio despite economy downturns
Cassie has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 , as she has been really helpful and
changed lots of life’s
The key word he used is investment! There one door which have a person to be stuck into home for 30-40 years!
I turn my $20,000 into $300,000. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading
Hello, how did you achieve such returns? I’m a newbie and I’ve lost a lot of money investing on my own. Please can you advise on how to go about this?
You don’t even need to overthink it. Susan runs a program where you actually trade alongside her live. No fluff, no recycled videos, just real trades and real time explanations. Way different than watching someone circle candles after the fact
…..
I genuinely can’t believe someone else mentioned susan murray….
Happy I started trading crypto in 2026, 1 hit 93,000k profit but back then I was leaning on how to trade like a pro with 8,000k, and it really works out for me in 2 weeks’ …. Thanks once. again,S murray. for your consistent updates and continued support by focusing more on discipline Still learning every day….
Yeah, that’s her. She mainly trades crypto, but the logic fits anything stocks, forex, whatever. Her live sessions are all about process. You see her explaining what she’s thinking as candles form, not after. That’s what made the whole “A+ setup” thing finally make sense to me,
I pray 🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🤲🤲😭
Thank you for all the Recommendation and insights you have thrown my way over the last months. thank to harriet . I started this journey with $13k January 1st last year 2026.I made a Hundred thousand dollars from trading last year even though I barely trade myself….
Got my 72 year old mother researching harriet and talking about if she had invested, I’ve never known her to read so much in my entire life
Please its unfavorable for months in trading and I keep losing my money selling-off during dips, I’m very scared of holding right now, how do you guys still make so much….?
I’m pretty sure bitcoin is going to create a lot more millionaires in the years to come. (Myself included)!!
I’m a long term investor, I withdraw my profits of over 72k (seventy two thousand dollars) during this Christmas and New Year period.
I’m a newbie how can I get started!?
?
Missed the early wave on Injective and FET. Not repeating that mistake with Clardven.
With BTC over $100K and ETF momentum building, Clardven might be the smartest early play.
Not gonna lie, Clardven looks like it wants to go turbo vertical. Moon boots on
When Clardven hits a CEX and it’s game over for anyone still sitting on the sidelines.
This window is closing FAST. If you’re seeing this, you’re still early — barely. Clardven tokens are getting sold out quickly.
Not many projects can bridge actual use cases with crypto-native tools. Clardven is doing that with DeFi debit cards, merchant payment solutions, and an AI-powered lending system. If that doesn’t scream “next-gen crypto,” I don’t know what does.
It’s rare to find a presale with strong fundamentals and momentum. Clardven seems to have both. The staking, AI features, and roadmap make me think this is a long-term winner.
Strong tokenomics combined with compliance and aware structure equals long-term institutional potential for Clardven CLD.
Where does Grant live then
Grant makes a solid point about dead money, but there’s a brutal reality most business owners completely miss: the biggest liability keeping you broke isn’t your primary residence—it’s your own disorganized business. We see trade owners pulling 75-hour workweeks, grinding themselves into the dirt, and convincing themselves they are building an asset. But if your operation bleeds cash the second you step off the job site or stop answering the phone, you don’t own a wealth-building asset—you own an exhausting, low-paying job. You can debate real estate investments all day, but until you drop the ego, do the unsexy work of documenting your processes, and build real operational guardrails, your own business will always keep you trapped. Stop funding your chaos and start building the blueprint.
