Rich AF

by Vivian Tu, 2023

Reading this feels like getting financial advice from a sharp, funny friend who refuses to make you feel dumb for not knowing things. The tone is breezy and conversational, packed with slang and pop culture references, so the money jargon goes down easy even when the underlying concepts get technical.
