I wrote this book because I believe the road to financial freedom is a journey everyone can embark on. I wrote this book with you in mind. You, who perhaps have never been taught anything about how money works. You, who have been too intimidated to pick up and read a book about personal finance because you were too scared of the jargon. You, who want to #getyourmoneyright. I had you in mind when I wrote this book.’ – Mapalo Makhu
If you are a millennial who is trying to figure out how money works, this book is for you. With simple, relatable and sometimes amusing stories about how to manage money on a day-to-day basis, you will learn how to change your mindset about money, get out of debt and stay debt-free, invest your money and, ultimately, live your best life.
You’re Not Broke, You’re Pre-Rich will help you, the young professional, to think differently about money, while covering pertinent topics like black tax, savings, budgeting, emergency funds and financial scams, as well as estate and retirement planning (and why you should care right now!). It is the best class you never attended… in a book!
As kids, we often had some wild ideas for what we wanted to be when we grew up, from firefighters and astronauts to princesses and mermaids. Some of us longed to be rock legends and movie stars: the yacht parties and penthouse suites, magazine covers and red carpet events. The only downside to that would, of course, be the paparazzi. After all, nowadays we aren't used to all those flashing cameras - taking selfies is sooo much easier on the eyes.
Here's the good news: whatever job you find yourself having today, you can still look and feel the part of an absolute celebrity without having to deal with boring press conferences and crazed fans: a new pair of sunnies, like our deal on unisex sunglasses from Hugo Boss. Bring on the paparazzi! Can't guarantee you won't still have some crazed fans, though.
