Welcome back to the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most pivotal milestones on your wealth-building journey—the $100,000 mark. Maybe you've already reached it in your savings, investments, or revenue, or maybe you're well on your way. Either way, hitting that first hundred grand isn't the finish line—it's just the launch pad.But here's what most people don't realize: right after that $100K milestone, a series of subtle traps start popping up. These aren't the obvious mistakes—they're disguised as progress, and if you're not careful, they'll derail your momentum just as things are starting to take off.In this episode, I reveal the seven traps that can stall your wealth after breaking $100,000—and most importantly, how to avoid them. I'll walk you through keeping lifestyle inflation in check, treating your investment gains with the respect they deserve (hint: it's not “Vegas money”), and making sure you don't get blindsided by taxes. We'll dive into why cash flow is every bit as important as net worth, how static savings can quietly sabotage your future, and why building your dream life is never a solo project.IN TODAY'S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:Why the $100K threshold is the beginning of your wealth journeyHow lifestyle inflation can wreck your progressThe danger in treating market gains like “found money”The critical difference between net worth and cash flowThe “static savings” trap and the importance of keeping your savings rate growing with your incomeMy four-step reset to keep your wealth machine hummingRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOUIf you liked this episode, click here to enjoy these and more:https://melabraham.com/show/ACCOUNTANT EXPLAINS: Every Level of Wealth in X minsNever Make These 12 Mistakes if You Want to RetireThe Real Cost of Pretending to be RichWhy Buying a Home is NOT the American DreamWhy Most Americans Never Escape the Middle Class TrapRECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU If you liked this video, you'll love these ones:ACCOUNTANT EXPLAINS: Every Level of Wealth in X mins: https://youtu.be/YAxSPE_4FfYNever Make These 12 Mistakes if You Want to Retire: https://youtu.be/ifbBd9PH8cYThe Real Cost of Pretending to be Rich: https://youtu.be/D8DgveoFPEMWhy Buying a Home is NOT the American Dream: https://youtu.be/ERxc8qmfjlAORDER MY NEW USA TODAY BESTSELLING BOOK:Building Your Money Machine: How to Get Your Money to Work Harder For You Than You Did For It!The key to building the life you desire and deserve is to build your Money Machine—a powerful system designed to generate income that's no longer tied to your work or efforts.

Story of the Week (DR):Lachlan Murdoch Secures Control of Fox and News Corp, Ending Succession FightLachlan Murdoch is confirmed as Rupert Murdoch's successor, gaining control over the family's media empire (which includes Fox Corporation and News Corp). Prudence MacLeod, Elisabeth Murdoch, and James Murdoch—three of Rupert's older children—will each receive about US$1.1 billion. They will sell their holdings in Fox and News Corp and give up beneficial/trust rights in those companies.Apart from full siblings Elisabeth and James Murdoch, Lachlan has three half-siblings, an elder half-sister Prudence, and two younger sisters by his father's third marriage, Grace and Chloe. A new family trust will be set up benefiting Lachlan and Rupert's younger daughters, Grace and Chloe. That trust will hold controlling voting shares in Fox and News Corp. The three older siblings will no longer be beneficiaries in the trust(s) connected to Fox and News Corp. They also give up any voting rights held via those trusts. Rupert Murdoch, despite handing over the control structure, retains a role as Chairman Emeritus. The new trust arrangement secures Lachlan's control over the companies through 2050. One of Rupert Murdoch's concerns was the possibility that the more moderate siblings (Prudence, Elisabeth, James) could shift the political or editorial leanings of Fox/News Corp after he's gone. The new structure is designed to prevent that.Senators Call for Hearings About JPMorgan's Ties to Jeffrey EpsteinDemocrats want CEO Jamie Dimon to testify about keeping Epstein as a client until 2013Epstein had dozens of accounts at JPMorgan's private bank and communicated often with bank executives, connecting them to his wealthy contacts, ties The Wall Street Journal first reported in 2023 to be deeper than understood. Epstein was a JPMorgan client before and after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008 and forced to register as a sex offender.Trump Epstein letter and drawing from ‘birthday book' releasedEric Trump removed from the ALT5 board of directors after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLCTrump's second son, Eric Trump, was removed from the ALT5 board of directors. According to the SEC filing, the change was made after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, therefore, the change was in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.It is still unclear which of the Nasdaq rules caused Eric Trump to be removed. The closest reason would be the rule that requires a majority of board members at listed companies to be independent. However, if Trump didn't qualify as independent, other members would have also been removed, which was not the case.after discussion with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC … and in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.” He is now a board observer: While he was originally announced as a full board member, Eric Trump has been reassigned to observer status — meaning he can attend meetings but doesn't have voting power.Larry Ellison's $100 billion day reminds us why David Ellison could buy ParamountLarry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, recently saw his net worth jump by around US$100 billion in a single day due to a spike in Oracle's stock.Larry's wealth was a key factor enabling his son, David Ellison, to acquire Paramount.David Ellison's position is less pressured because his father's vast wealth gives him a kind of “cushion” — meaning that even if some deals don't go well, he can withstand the backlash more than many media owners could.Paramount Skydance Prepares Ellison-Backed Bid for Warner Bros. DiscoveryThe majority of the planned bid for Warner will be made up of cashA Key to Larry Ellison's Wealth Creation: Years of Oracle Stock BuybacksOracle has used aggressive stock buybacks over the past 15 years as a major lever to boost shareholder value—and especially to amplify Larry Ellison's personal wealth. Oracle has aggressively repurchased its own shares over roughly the last 15 years — reducing its outstanding share count by nearly 45%. Because Larry Ellison held roughly the same number of shares, his ownership percentage rose from ~23% to around 41% without buying more stock.This buyback strategy significantly boosted the value of Ellison's stake — Barron's estimates that without the buybacks, his stake might have been worth only $215 billion instead of the current ~$387 billion.Ellison didn't need to purchase additional Oracle shares to increase the value of his investment—he benefited from the shrinking pool of shares and the company's rising valuation.Vanguard Tries To Get Investors Interested In Proxy Voting MMVanguard's trying to get millions of its fund investors involved in big corporate decisions—but so far, most people are still tuning out. That's left folks wondering who really holds sway at America's largest companies.Vanguard's campaign faces a classic case of 'rational apathy', where most index fund investors skip shareholder votes because it feels like a hassle with little impact on their own wallets.Even though Vanguard's Voting Choice program doubled participation to 82,000 people and tripled the dollar value voted to $9 billion, that's tiny compared to the company's 50 million investors and $11 trillion in assets.Studies from Duke, Florida, and Columbia universities show just how overwhelming the sheer number of ballot measures can be—making most people pick broad voting policies, like mainstream or anti-ESG, instead of poring over each decision.While reformers hope wider voting can democratize the system, the early results point the other way: individuals often skip votes or side with management, letting company leaders keep their grip. In fact, last year's Tesla shareholder votes would have failed if Vanguard's index funds had voted like individuals.Financial Services Committee Examines the Shareholder Proposal Process and Proxy Advisory FirmsOn the Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank on Annual Proxy Statements: “Together, these two laws [Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank] have driven up costs, increased the length and complexity of proxy statements, expanded the disclosure and oversight process, and fundamentally changed much of the shareholder access to the proxy system,” said Chairman Hill.French Hill: founder, Chair, and CEO of Delta Trust & Banking Corporation from 1999 until 2014. A ninth-generation Arkansan, Hill is a direct descendent of slave plantation owner Creed Taylor who was among the wealthiest 1% of Americans in 1860.On the Cost of Unnecessary and Irrelevant Shareholder Proposals: “Under this flawed system, companies are too often forced to waste valuable time and resources fighting proposals that are irrelevant to the company's bottom line, hurting investors and workers alike,” said Capital Markets Subcommittee Chair Ann Wagner (MO-02)."Allowing a small group of left-wing activists to hijack the proxy proposal process to push social, environmental, DEI, or political objectives totally unrelated to the core business of a company does not advance the cause of capitalism. It undermines capitalism. It corrupts capitalism because it results in the misallocation of resources of the company. It undermines the profitability of the company. It hurts the shareholders,” stated Financial Institutions Subcommittee Chair Rep. Andy Barr (KY-06).Barr believes that abortion should be illegal, including in cases of rape and incestBarr, who's now running for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat, made it clear that he and Musk are joined at the hip. A few days after the “town hall” Barr released a photo of himself standing beside a shiny new Tesla, with a big smile, a thumbs-up, and the caption “Elon Musk sure knows what he's doing!”On How Proxy Advisory Firms Can Deter Businesses from Joining Public Markets: “For many small and medium private companies considering an IPO, the decision often comes down to whether the benefits of accessing public markets outweigh the risk of compliance. But as we have seen in recent years, the shareholder proposal process can be dominated by a small group of activist investors advancing niche political agendas that have little to do with long term value creation. At the same time, proxy advisory firms wield outsized influence over voting outcomes, and [are] operating with limited transparency and potential conflicts of interest. So together, these dynamics can create an uncertainty and additional cost that make public markets less attractive,” declared House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams (TX-25).Williams was listed as the 22nd wealthiest member of Congress in 2018. Williams inherited the family's automobile dealership from his father, who founded the business in 1939.During the COVID-19 pandemic, Williams's Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership in Weatherford, Texas, received a loan of between $1 million and $2 million as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP);[28][29] the loan was later forgivenGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Boone Electric Co-op members can cast drive-thru votes for directorsDR: New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free DR MMThe program, which will start in November and is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

If this pay package passes, he will have as much worth as ONE QUARTER of EVERYONE UNDER 40 - 166 million people in the US. We're convinced because he bought a car company and built some rockets using US subsidies he's singular. Combine that with the fact that he's one of 4 billionaire white men who control social media, which tells us EVERY DAY our life sucks and the reason is “the other side” and capitalism support is at a long term low, and people feel there are NO OTHER OPTIONS but to assassinate someone.Men - more than 99% of political violence is committed by men.

In today's episode, we're diving into a big conversation around one of the most common traps we see in nutrition and fitness: copy-paste culture.You know the drill: asking for someone else's calories, macros, or exact plan hoping it'll work for you too. But here's the thing: it doesn't. And if you've tried that and crashed and burned, you're not alone, and it doesn't mean you're broken. We get into why blindly following someone else's plan rarely works, and how creating your own (based on your preferences, lifestyle, and goals) is not only more sustainable, it's empowering.We also talk about the emotional weight behind constantly searching for "the answer" instead of doing the real work of showing up for yourself. Yes, it's hard at first. Yes, it takes time. But when you stop outsourcing your plan and start building your own foundation, everything changes. We're here to help you get honest, get specific, and most importantly, get moving."It feels really good to just honor yourself. Be respectful of yourself. You made a plan and you respected that plan.”- Amy Rudolph“You're worth it. Act like it and you'll start to feel like it.”- Iris Deadlifts“Nobody regrets following through on the plan they made for themselves. They only regret when they didn't.”- MeriThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why following a workout plan is not the same as copying someone's nutrition planHow comparison, even under the guise of curiosity, keeps you stuckWhat it really means to create a plan that works for your life, preferences, and budgetThe psychological trap of constantly collecting information and never startingWhy general guidelines (like calories or protein) are helpful—but your specifics are yours to buildHow to shift from outcome-based goals to action-based goalsReal coaching examples of clients taking ownership and feeling proud of their progressThe power of planning ahead, especially for social events and weekends Connect with Us:Meri on InstagramIris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramProtein & Fiber EpisodeHow Fat Loss Works EpisodeMaintenance Masterclass EpisodeThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I'm talking to athletes who are stuck. You know you're capable of doing the skill—you've done it before—but for some reason, it's just not happening right now. Maybe you're dealing with the pressure of move-ups, recovering from a past fall, or your brain is simply hitting the brakes. You're not alone, and there is a way through it that doesn't involve just pushing harder or trying to force your way over the mental block.In fact, trying to "just do it" is usually the opposite of what works.

In today's episode, Dal Sekhon joins us to unpack the decades-long journey she's taken from yo-yo dieting and extreme restriction to sustainable fat loss, cultural food freedom, strength training, and self-trust. Dal shares how losing 120 pounds was just one part of the transformation, and how much more meaningful the internal shifts were.A major shift came when she gave herself permission to include her cultural Indian food in a way that supported both satisfaction and her goals. In this episode, she opens up about how she let go of timelines, made peace with food, and redefined success far beyond the number on the scale. We dive into the mindset work, the cultural expectations, the diet myths she had to unlearn, and how she finally reclaimed her own voice and agency in the process.We talk about the guilt, the pressure, the milestones missed due to obsession with the scale, and how she's redefined what success actually looks like.“So many of my memories aren't of the event… I just remember the number on the scale. That's not how life should be.”- Dal Sekhon“Work within the parameters of your life.”- Dal SekhonThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:How Dal transitioned from Weight Watchers and extreme restriction to a more sustainable, nutrient-rich way of eatingWhy “satisfaction is a strategy” became a game-changing mindset shift—and what that looks like in daily lifeThe meaning behind the mantra: “Work within the parameters of your life”The emotional and physical costs of following diet rules that ignore cultural food preferences and personal satisfactionHow Dal dealt with intense cultural pressure around body image, food, and the infamous “what will people think?”Why true behavior change means letting go of timelines and learning how to be patient with yourselfHow learning to say “no” at family gatherings was actually a form of deep self-respect and progressThe real power of doing it for you—not your kids, not the scale, not external validationConnect with Dal Sekhon, Nutrition Coaching by Dal:Nutrition Coaching by Dal on InstagramThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!
