Overview

This book follows Maya, a financially ambitious 28-year-old, as she reaches the long-coveted milestone of saving $100,000 - only to discover that it's not the finish line she imagined, but a complicated beginning. Through personal storytelling and brutally honest reflection, Maya examines the emotional weight of money, the legacy of scarcity, and the psychological cost of living in a society that equates worth with productivity and income. From childhood lessons to her years of scraping by, she lays bare the invisible forces that shape how we earn, spend, and define ""success."" As Maya moves beyond survival mode, the book dives into the messy realities of side hustles, burnout, therapy, and the toxic belief that financial freedom must be earned through exhaustion. Each chapter unpacks the myth that money alone can fix fear, and explores how emotional healing, rest, relationships, and boundaries are just as crucial to building a truly wealthy life. Whether navigating the pressure to buy a home, the siren call of crypto, or the silent shame of lifestyle inflation, Maya learns that security is not a destination - it's a practice. Ultimately, ""$100K Isn't Rich"" is both a memoir and a manifesto. It challenges the hustle-obsessed culture of modern adulthood and offers a more expansive definition of wealth - one rooted in clarity, self-trust, and purpose. For anyone who's done all the ""right"" things with money and still feels uneasy, this book offers validation, reflection, and a roadmap forward. Because the real freedom isn't in the number - it's in what you do after you reach it.
