What the Fed Is Doing to Your Money (And Why You Didn’t Notice) – Andy Tanner
How the Federal Reserve affects inflation is one of the most important concepts investors need to understand, and in this episode of the Rich Dad StockCast, host Del Denney sits down with Rich Dad expert Andy Tanner to break it down.
Most people don’t realize that monetary policy directly impacts everything from the price of groceries to the value of their investments. Andy explains how the Federal Reserve controls money supply and interest rates—and why those decisions consistently favor asset owners over savers.
You’ll learn why inflation quietly erodes cash, how low interest rates increase asset prices, and why traditional advice like saving money can actually put you further behind. The conversation also explores how investors use debt strategically, why real estate and stocks benefit from inflation, and how to position your portfolio to align with—not fight—the system.
This episode also dives into the history and structure of the Federal Reserve, giving you context for how today’s policies came to be and why they continue to shape the global economy.
If you want to understand how money really works, protect your purchasing power, and make smarter investment decisions, this episode gives you the framework to think like an investor instead of a saver.

Wow, what you don’t know really can hurt you 😮 🙁
I was at an event with a millionaire who casually mentioned how he hadn’t earned a paycheck in over a decade. I couldn’t wrap my head around it until later when he recommended What Elites Hide From You by Jeff Rogan… That book explained exactly how people like him live off systems, not salaries. I stopped obsessing over income and started focusing on assets. Now my whole mindset is different, and Im slowly starting to turn my life around.
There’s this dark little book I stumbled across called What Elites Hide From You by Jeff Rogan and honestly, I’m not sure I should even be talking about it. The content feels like it was leaked from somewhere it shouldn’t have been. I was stuck in mediocrity, accepting scraps of what I actually wanted from life, and then I read this thing and… holy. Within days, opportunities started appearing out of nowhere, people started treating me differently, synchronicities got weird. It’s like the book activated something that was always there but sleeping. Every person who’s ready should read it once
Don’t fight the FED, BE the FED! We started that journey by borrowing debt at a low rate and then lending it out at higher rates, keeping the spread / arbitrage. All thanks to lessons learned through these Rich Dad Advisors like the GREAT Andy Tanner!
“Americans don’t even know that they have been enslaved by debt since Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. They think he is a savior and blame the Fed instead, as if it is the Fed that allows Americans to steal from their own grandchildren.”
