The First or The Last | Hosted by Jay Awal

If you’re working hard, earning decent money, and still feel one step away from stress then this episode is for you.

In this episode of The First or The Last, Jay Awal breaks down a truth most people learn too late: freedom isn’t determined by how much money you make, but by how your money is made.

Through personal reflection and storytelling inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad, Jay explains why trading time for money creates fragile income and why residual income changes the entire equation.

This episode explores:

• Why high earners still feel trapped and anxious
• The difference between income that pays bills and income that builds a life
• How the Cashflow Quadrant reframes work, ownership, and freedom
• Why residual income is about design, not laziness
• How many people are under-positioned, not underpaid

Scripture reinforces the principle in Proverbs 13:22:

“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.”

Inheritance isn’t just money... it’s structure, systems, and income that outlives effort.

This episode isn’t telling you to quit your job.

It’s helping you see why your current income model may be keeping you stressed — and what to start building instead.

Because money that depends entirely on your presence isn’t freedom.

It’s dependence.
