Publisher's Summary

A revolutionary financial and career path to break free from corporate America's grasp, make peace with your finances, and build wealth on your own terms

When it comes to our finances, we’re told to follow the same script as our white colleagues: work hard, make money, save, and invest. Yet despite putting in twice the effort, you end up making less and are routinely passed up for career opportunities. Here’s the truth: financial freedom is within your reach, but playing by corporate America’s rules will only take you halfway there. To win, you must eventually walk away—and take up an entirely different model of wealth accumulation.

Cashing Out is your roadmap to financial freedom despite the broken system. You don’t have to sacrifice your time and mental health to maximize income. Instead, financial experts Julien and Kiersten Saunders show how to design a life that allows you to enjoy the little things now while setting yourself up for future financial security. Drawing from their journey paying off $200,000 of debt in five years, quitting their high-stress corporate jobs, and retaking control of their finances, this book will teach you:

  • Why the mantra and glitz of “Black Excellence” is an unsustainable motivation for wealth building
  • How to prioritize the right goals at each stage of your career so you can quit in 15 years or less
  • How to talk about money with your loved ones without coming to blows
  • Practical strategies to bring more money in without robbing you of time and energy you don’t have

It’s time to stop being a cog in the machine that leaves you under-appreciated and underpaid. Cashing Out shows you how to open the door to a new kind of prosperity.

Adds nothing new to the financial independence literature

I listened to this book because the authors advised I was their target audience - a high income professional with a spouse of the same and no kids. I assumed the book would offer a more advanced discussion of FI topics. I was sadly mistaken. What followed was a basic regurgitation of the well documented principles or FI: pay down debt, invest in index funds, fire your financial advisor and find alternative income through online ventures.

The authors clearly thought that their race would differentiate their book since the advice was not revolutionary. According to them, corporate America is rigged against racial minorities, so you should quit your job after 15 years and become your own boss. But wait, don’t forget to invest in these same exploitative companies via index funds.

To be fair, this book is not the only one to repeat material. It’s an issue with the FI community in general. It’s reached full saturation of unique content; however, a main principle of FI is passive income. Therefore, many of its supporters can’t help but write a half baked book to serve their own self interest.
