Welcome back to Don’t Retire… Graduate! We have two very special guests today, Julien and Kiersten Saunders. They are the hosts of the Rich and Regular podcast and Money on the Table video series and authors of their recently published book, “Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away.” 

The couple joins us to talk about how the finance game is rigged against minorities and how they built their wealth—and paid down mind-numbing debt—despite the challenges they faced. This is a powerful episode you won’t want to miss!

In this episode we’ll talk about:

• How not to start a relationship. 

• Julien and Kiersten’s story and why they wrote their book the way they did.

• The barriers and challenges that people of color face, particularly in finance.

• Wage and income gaps and how they’re still prevalent. 

• The history of slavery and share cropping and how they still impact us.

• Choosing your boss wisely and finding one that advocates for you.

• Paying yourself first and having courage to invest money.

• Treating personal finance as financial hygiene. 

• Becoming a connector and the value of community, both virtual and in person.

• Paying off debt the way you chop down a tree.
