Without burnout or job shaming

Turn Your Paycheck into Passive Income

Strategies from a dad with a job and a plan.

Why Most People Never Escape the Paycheck Trap

  • They skip Level 1. Master Your Money.

  • They get stuck in Level 2. Accelerate Your Earnings.

  • They confuse active income with passive income.

Our 3-level framework helps you move from paycheck to passive income in months, not decades.

Our Philosophy

We celebrate honest work, not escaping or shaming it.

You don’t need to quit your job or work harder to build a better life. Wealth starts with working an honest job and using your existing income more intentionally so your career becomes the fuel for your freedom. Building an investment portfolio to fund your dreams takes work because good things do not come easily.

Work. Save. Live.

Work

Save

Live

Stability before risk: cash flow, savings, discipline, then investing.

Before building a portfolio, you need to create space to breathe. Straightforward systems to begin saving money—the funds you need for investing—so each paycheck helps you move further from stress and closer to financial freedom. Additionally, time is saved by working smarter and accelerating learning with our tools.

Wealth is measured in time and moments, not just net worth.

The goal isn’t merely increasing your account balance but improving your life. Building a true passive income portfolio, not disguised self-employment, is about reclaiming your time for bedtime stories, road trips, and living life on your own terms without being tied to the next paycheck.

What We Mean By "Cheat Codes"

Let's be honest: the game of money feels rigged. Especially today. With inflation steadily eroding your paycheck and the cost of living constantly climbing, it often feels like you're running in place, no matter how hard you work. As a millennial, I felt that frustration deeply. I saw how the system was designed to keep us on a financial treadmill, making it nearly impossible to get ahead, let alone build real wealth. It is intentional and real. You are not imagining it.

That's why I created Cheatcode Wealth™.

A "cheat code" isn't about being unethical or taking risky shortcuts. It's about understanding the hidden rules of the game and using smart, proven strategies to win on your own terms. It's about finding the most efficient path to your goals, saving you years of trial and error, and sidestepping the traps that keep most people stuck.

I discovered these "cheat codes" myself, a process that enabled me to build a significant passive-income portfolio while working a normal 9-5 job and prioritizing my family. I didn't quit my job, I didn't work 80-hour weeks, and I certainly didn't get lucky. Instead, I learned how to make my money work smarter, not harder, to beat the rigged system.

At Cheatcode Wealth, we teach you these exact "cheat codes." We simplify complex financial concepts, provide actionable steps, and empower you to transform your paycheck into true passive income faster than ever. It's about giving you the unfair advantage you need to build an investment portfolio, reclaim your time, and live the life you actually want.
