This is a good book, broken down into sections with questions to help you monetize your wealth. I did find some of it helpful.
Thanks NetGalley for a copy of this book.
I found this book to be a wealth of knowledge that accurately addresses the reality of the financial system, and personal finance, for people who are not heterosexual white men. The author is right, a lot of personal finance advice is not designed specifically for the wide ranging group of people that make up society. I found the text to be accessible and helpful as I continue to educate myself on personal finance and the capitalist system that we can the United States. I would recommend this as reading material for anyone who is tired of Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey, and are looking for advice that is more applicable to their designated identity (i.e. not a white man).
Broadway has an engaging and informed voice through this book about a sticky topic that many people find hard to make interesting. This book is far from dry or overwhelming. Highly recommendable. An empowering book.
The Wealth Decision by Dominique Broadway is a book that anyone who wants to build wealth, especially if you are not from an affluent family, should read. The author reminds us that money moves are about making moves and in this book she teaches us how to know what the right moves at the right time are- it all starts with mindset.
A great deal of this book is spent asking us to consider our thoughts about money and the community we're raised in. By assessing our mindsets around money we are then able to shift unhelpful beliefs into beliefs that serve our interests towards building wealth.
She provides income stream ideas for those interested in having multiple streams of income and encourages readers to consider side hustles that present a low financial commitment but yield big results in six months time. As a new entrepreneur myself I appreciated that way she presented the information around creating digital products, the use of drop shipping, and more.
Dominique also teaches readers how to protect the wealth that's being built by ensuring we've made plans for what happens when we pass away, ensuring we have the right policies in place for ourselves and our families, and having conversations with our family to ensure everyone understands our estate plan. The ending of the book is full of conversation starters to help readers initiate conversations with family about money that are often avoided or uncomfortable. There are many resources shared via a QR code at the back of the book that I'm really looking forward to digging into.
Thank you to the author and publisher for the e-arc copy!
I really enjoyed the book. When I saw that Rachel Rodgers and Tiffany Aliche, both pretty big financial advisors who have hit the million mark themselves, had blurbed the book, I knew that it'd be good.
I am pleased with the experience. I especially loved Chapter 10, where she talks about insurance and your estate. I loved her discussion of how her Pop-pop spent so much time, money, and energy on her. Yes - that is what a Rich Life truly is. You get to spend time and money on your priorities. I received a review copy from NetGalley and have left my opinion.
