Podcast: Wealth Explosion with T. Ray Greer, Jr. (Greerology)

Have you ever felt like your financial breakthrough became everybody else’s emergency fund?

Welcome to “The Black Tax: How to Prosper When You’re the Bank for Everybody.” In this powerful episode, host and financial strategist T. Ray Greer, Jr., delves deeply into the unspoken burden many African Americans carry—the emotional and financial pressure of being the primary source of family support.

This episode doesn’t just diagnose the problem—it delivers the solution.

T. Ray opens with a raw and personal story about becoming the "family bank," revealing how quickly success can turn into stress when boundaries are blurred. Backed by robust statistics, cultural insight, and faith-driven wisdom, he walks you through the mindset and methods necessary to:

✅ Understand the root of the Black Tax and how it affects wealth-building
✅ Set clear boundaries without guilt or shame
✅ Replace emotional pressure with legacy-driven planning
✅ Still bless your family—without going broke doing it
✅ Shift from being the rescue plan to the blueprint

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create a Giving Plan rooted in wisdom
  • Say “No” without severing relationships
  • Build systems that allow you to give from overflow
  • Avoid enabling and start empowering
  • Heal the guilt that comes with “making it”

This isn’t just about money—it’s about mindset, mission, and maturity.

Whether you’re the one who “made it,” the one trying to climb, or the one raising the next generation of legacy-builders, this episode will challenge and equip you to balance compassion with calling.

Let this be your moment of clarity.
You are not their bank—you are their example. And your future is worth protecting.
