Who Has Your Money? The Real Wealth Answer | Abundance Mindset

In this powerful Abundance Thursday episode, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down one of the most misunderstood wealth principles: "Who has your money?" Vinney Chopra, who came to America with just $7 and went on to build a portfolio across multifamily, senior living, and hospitality, shares real-life lessons from decades of investing. Joined by Gualter Amarelo, best-selling author of Broke to a Quarter-Million and host of the Alchemist Nation Podcast, this conversation blends mindset, strategy, and practical wisdom into one eye-opening discussion.

 

Together, they unpack how money truly moves in business and investing, including:

👉🏻 Why customers and residents are the real source of wealth

👉🏻 How lenders, LPs, and partners fit into the capital stack

👉🏻 The importance of leverage, diversification, and trust

👉🏻 How great operators think differently about responsibility and risk

 

This episode is a must-listen for investors, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want clarity around cash flow, partnerships, and long-term wealth creation. If you've ever wondered why some people attract money while others chase it, this conversation will shift how you think — and how you act. Tune in to learn how to position yourself where money naturally flows.
