NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A revolutionary playbook for building generational wealth, no matter where you grew up—from the founders of the explosively popular podcast and financial literacy platform Earn Your Leisure

This audiobook features a special welcome message from co-author Rashad Bilal.

You deserve to be rich.

You deserve to make a purchase without fear that your check might bounce. You deserve to go on vacation. You deserve to care for loved ones without worrying about bills. You deserve to live the way you want, without reservations or fear. You deserve freedom—financial freedom. If you agree, you’ve come to the right place.

We grew up in New York playing basketball together. As kids, both of us were fascinated by finance, curious about the stock market and how money moves among systems and pockets. But we began to notice that—for people in our community—hard work wasn’t enough. The system wasn’t set up to help people like us turn our hustle into lasting wealth.

We started Earn Your Leisure to change that. We never could have imagined the response. Soon our little podcast started to feel more like a financial revolution. But a podcast can do only so much. This book is our answer to the thousands upon thousands of people who have asked us for a detailed blueprint. The key to earning your leisure is to see money as a strategic tool for wealth development. In You Deserve to Be Rich, you’ll learn how to:

• Deal with the psychological toll of growing up living paycheck to paycheck.

• Create income-building strategies outside your nine-to-five, from investing to side hustles.

• Use passive income to put you in control of your time and lifestyle.

• Master tax and insurance systems and identify (legal) loopholes to maximize wealth.

• Navigate family financial drama and find ways to support your community.

That’s just the start. This book is full of tips, insights, and stories about real people, just like you, who have used the tools of wealth building to overcome barriers and build the life they want.

You deserve to be rich. This is the playbook to make it happen.

Very good financial read

I learned so much from this book. So glad I gave it a listen. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be financially successful

A book for US.

A complete financial education book for people who were not taught financial education. Giving you a complete rundown of investments, money management, business. It won’t give you everything you need so if you’re looking for something that is more advanced, skip along. However, this book is phenomenal and thank you for writing it.

Amazing Book, Shoutout to Rashad updating the voice

Book reads like a movie now!! Excellent listen now and the content and message can be taught to the masses!

Experienced Audible Listener

I have listened to audible books for the past 10 years as a convenience. I usually buy the paper version of a book as well because I just like reading actual books. This book is a gold mine of gems for any listener seeking to increase their financial literacy and decrease the stress and strain of financial illiteracy. If you are a seasoned Audible listener but have not actually been following these guys on assets of liabilities or Market Mondays or best test you would not understand their cadence or have followed the fact that they genuinely wanted to record this themselves instead of hiring a professional, you may not like it because the authors read the book to provide a personal touch and we’re not trained in that manner. As a follower of their podcast and shows I personally know this is how they always sound when they’re reading something off so I was OK with listening to this version. I also bought a hard copy when I went to the book signing in Washington DC, I look forward to the next one.

Just speed up the Audio player

I would strongly recommend listeners to increase the player speed to 1.20-1.40 to have a better listening experience. other than that it was an original detailed approach to financial literacy. what these guys are doing is necessary work for the community and I will always support. they inspire me everyday.

LIT

If you want to hear it in our vernacular this is the book for you.

Financial literacy for Us By Us

Amazing book, lots of gems, game, and financial equality! I love how they expressed no matter your starting position you can obtain financial wealth, this should instill confidence in anyone

Love this book!

Really like the tangible blueprint and actions to follow. A step by step guide tailored for anyone.

Great Information

I get the message and lessons. The book is really insightful. Great material if you want to grow wealth.

Gem Dropping Book

This book is a Gold Mine with Jewels that can take anyone to the EYL level. Just follow the steps and you’ll get there. On the other hand Rashad needs to practice on his vocal skills. He makes the book sound like he’s tired of reading his own book.
