Money Marathon Wealth Guide: Why 99% Drop Out and How to Cross the Line

Picture wealth as a marathon, but 99% of us drop out before the finish line—not because we’re slow, but because no one gave us the map, shoes, or even a heads-up on the race.

My mate Dave ran the electrician track for 40 years, only to limp across with a pittance—retirement at 70 with barely enough for a pint. Meanwhile, some are crossing the line in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, sipping cocktails by the sea or chasing dreams we’re told to shelve.

Why do most of us quit? The wealth game’s rules are locked away—until now. This isn’t just about finishing late; it’s about sprinting to financial freedom early. Let’s rip open the Money Marathon Wealth Guide, reveal why 99% drop out, and show you how to cross the line like a champ. Ready to lace up? The clock’s ticking!

The Core of the Problem: Why 99% Drop Out

1. Financial Illiteracy:

Here’s the first hurdle: most of us don’t even know the racecourse exists!

• Educational Systems: Schools churn out grads who can recite poetry but can’t balance a budget. No lessons on compound interest or investing—just a ticket to the dropout lane.

• Complexity and Jargon: Financial terms are the marathon’s secret checkpoints—miss “ETFs” or “dividends,” and you’re lost in the woods.

  
  

2. Access to Opportunities:

Think you’re ready to run? The starting line’s locked behind a paywall.

• High Entry Costs: Real estate or stocks demand hefty fees—think £10k just to get your running shoes. Most of us are stuck barefoot.

• Banking and Credit: No account, no play. The unbanked are sidelined, with no water station to save or borrow from.

  
  

3. Economic Disparities:

The track’s rigged—some runners get jetpacks while we’re jogging in mud.

• Income Inequality: Low wages mean no spare fuel—just bread and water, not marathon gel.

• Wage Stagnation: Prices sprint ahead, but wages crawl—the scoreboard’s stuck for the masses.

  
  

4. Cultural and Psychological Barriers:

Our heads trip us before our legs even start pumping.

• Risk Aversion: Scared of a tumble? Without risk know-how, you’re jogging in place.

• Short-term Thinking: Instant gratification culture swaps endurance for a quick sprint—drop out city.

  
  

5. Predatory Financial Practices:

The race has sneaky potholes designed to trip you up.

• High-Cost Borrowing: Payday loans are shin splints—slowing you down with debt.

• Misinformation and Scams: Crypto scams are fake shortcuts—banana peels on the track.

  
  

6. Systemic and Policy Issues:

The marathon’s rules favor the pros, not the newbies.

• Tax Advantages: Rich runners get tax turbo boosts—newbies get crumbs.

• Lack of Supportive Policy: No training camps from the government—no childcare or education to lighten the load.

The Money Marathon Rulebook - A Satirical Glance:

Here’s the unofficial guide they forgot to mail you:

• Rule #1: Speak “finance” or limp home—jargon’s your entry pass.

• Rule #2: Got cash? Start running; broke? Stay benched—it’s the elite’s relay.

• Rule #3: Winners write the rules—sorry, spectators.

Severn Reasons You’re Dropping Out of the Money Marathon:

Time to face the dropout squad:

1. No Map: Schools skipped the “money moves” lesson—poetry won’t fund your finish line.

2. No Shoes: You think wealth needs a fortune to start—entry fees sting.

3. Fear of Falling: Risk’s shadow keeps you pacing, not racing.

4. Out of Fuel: Paycheck-to-paycheck life’s a timeout—no energy to run.

5. Wrong Turns: Scams turned your stash into ash—ouch.

6. Rigged Track: Tax breaks cheer the pros, not you.

7. No Coach: No one’s shouting drills or passing gear—where’s the pep talk?
