Young Money: A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties

From the creator of the hit newsletter Young Money, a guide for for Gen Z professionals fed up with the traditional career path and ready to rethink their relationship with money, work, and what it means to live well.

Jack Raines did everything right: get the grades, get the job, climb the ladder. But somewhere between the meetings and the paychecks, a question crept in--Is this it? What once looked like success started to feel like a trap. So he did the unthinkable: he walked away and decided to do it all differently.

What began as a quarter-life crisis turned into a full-on reinvention.
In Young Money, Raines exposes the trap so many twenty-somethings fall into--chasing status, salary, and stability without stopping to ask: Is this what I actually want? Is this actually how I want to spend my time?
Blending personal stories with cultural insight, he lays out a bold new manifesto for life and money:

• Time is your most valuable currency.
• Every dollar reflects the hours you traded to earn it.
• Real wealth means buying freedom, not flexing status.

With humor and honesty, Young Money is the essential playbook for anyone just starting out in their post college life--and anyone ready to do it differently.
