Jack Raines is a writer, investor, and proud personality hire; the order of those labels depends on who's asking. After playing football at Mercer University, Jack graduated with degrees in finance and Spanish, spending the next 18 months working in corporate finance before realizing he didn't want to spend the next 18 years doing the same thing. He promptly quit his job, bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona, and spent the next year writing a blog, working for a finance meme page, and visiting 25 countries before moving to New York for business school. While at Columbia, Jack joined Robinhood, helping them build a subsidiary media company, Sherwood News, before leaving to join Slow Ventures, an early-stage venture capital fund. Today, Jack "lives" in San Francisco, though he spends as much time as he can in New York, he recently picked up tennis, and he spends his time writing and looking for the next billion-dollar company to invest in

Klappentext

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 your relationship with money, work, and what it means to live well.

Jack Raines did everything right: got the grades, got the job, climbed the ladder. But somewhere between the meetings and the monthly salary, 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.

Young Money 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 how I want to spend my time? Young Money lays out a bold new manifesto for life and money:

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

With humour and honesty, Young Money is the essential playbook for anyone starting to think about their career - and anyone ready to do it differently.
