🎧💸 Audiobook Review: Future Millionaire by Rachel Rodgers (narrated by the author) 🚀👑

Okay listen — this book isn’t just about money, it’s about thinking like the rich auntie you always wanted to be 😂. Rachel Rodgers comes in like the hype woman for your bank account, telling you straight up: stop waiting, start acting, because you are a future millionaire. Period. 💅💰

I loved that she kept it real. She talks budgets, debt, investing — but she also goes in on mindset, boundaries, and self-worth. Basically the stuff we should’ve been learning in high school instead of memorizing the Pythagorean theorem. 🙃📉

And since Rachel narrates it herself, it feels like getting a personal coaching session. She’s got that “tough love + hype” energy that makes you actually want to get your financial life together (while laughing at the same time).

If you’re young, broke, or just tired of struggling, this audiobook is like a money glow-up in your ears 💎🎧. It’s smart, funny, and straight to the point — and honestly, I wish I had it years ago.

I enjoyed this informative book overall. The last half was dry, but informative. While the information wasn’t groundbreaking, it was important to hear again and the diversity Ms. Rodgers inkcuded was well needed.

While I'm not the target audience, I thought this was super informative for young adults. This is advice I wish I had when I was starting college. I really appreciated that Rachel Rodgers took the time to talk about financial mindset and empowering yourself to say "I have a million dollar idea AND it might take a lot of time/effort/hard work to get there." Both ideas can be true.

As I listened to the audiobook, I appreciated when Rachel said you can find the supplemental materials on the website (https://futuremillionairebook.com/resources/). I took a look at a few of the documents when referenced to enhance my learning experience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Blink for the opportunity to listen to an Advanced Listener's Copy (ALC) in exchange for my honest opinion/review.

I'm not the target audience, but who wouldn't want to be a millionaire and be more successful, or in the least manage your money better.

Good tips for all (not just young people) on marketing yourself, interviewing well, changing your mindset, knowing your worth, being smart with your money and credit, as well as starting in investing your money.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rachel Rodgers for offering this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Future Millionaire is the kind of book I wish students were encouraged to read in high school, or at least during their first year of college. Rachel Rodgers explains basic economic ideas in a way that’s easy to understand and really helpful for young people who want to set themselves up for success.

The first part of Future Millionaire really deep dives into how we can change our mindsets. One thing that really stuck out to me in the introduction is when she says, “You are not broke, you are pre-millionaire.” I really like that mindset shift from being negative to being positive, and most of the first part of the book really goes into depth on how we can do this. Some of the topics covered are thought work, setting boundaries, self-care, and how to build the best environment around you to achieve your dreams.

The second part of the book focuses more on the financial steps to becoming a millionaire, building on the earlier mindset shifts. Rodgers covers important topics like resumes, interviewing, negotiating salaries, budgeting, and investing. I think this book is especially useful for people ages 15 to 25, but anyone can learn something from it. At the end, she even shares 100 side hustle ideas to help you get started.

Thank you Rachel and NetGalley for lending me early access to: Future Millionaire: A Young Person’s Step-by-Step Guide to Making Wealth Inevitable.

Let’s start by saying that I’m definitely not the target audience for this kind of book, but I wanted to give it a chance, see if I could get the ARC, and hopefully learn something new or find something valuable in it. I actually did!

Rachel Rodgers begins by emphasizing that one of the most important aspects of becoming a millionaire is changing our mindset. She encourages us to let go of our inner saboteur, start thinking like millionaires, stop doubting our own capabilities, and work from the inside out in order to begin living as we should.

The author provides plenty of basic yet essential advice to start a conscious financial journey, from goal-setting to practical steps. Rodgers clearly thought through the process, covering a wide range of topics, and even when she didn’t go in-depth on something, she redirected readers to other works of hers that do.

Coming from a sales and marketing environment myself, I could recognize when certain approaches felt a little too “CTA” for a book. The constant redirection to other works or products, as well as the frequent repetition of what was going to be discussed later rather than jumping straight into the topic, did pull me out at times. That said, I understand this may be more about the genre itself, which I’m not used to, rather than a flaw of the book.

Overall, it was a great and enriching read, especially perfect for younger readers or anyone who may need some financial advice or coaching. I truly enjoyed the experience, took away as many lessons as I could, and I’ll be putting them into practice.

Future Millonaire by Rachel Rodgers is a financial guidebook for young people. Rodgers gives advice on how to set a goal, reflect on what is working to reach the goal (i.e. time habits, finding supportive people, environmental audits), and what is not (i.e. people holding you back, financial traps, etc.).

This book is detailed, gives specific examples and refers to the worksheets that can be used to create an action plan to get to financial security. A great amount of this book is devoted to actionable steps that young people can take easily to begin.

The author is the narrator and her enthusiasm for this subject shines through. She has a cheery, direct, and charismatic voice that keeps you listening.

Although this book is geared toward younger people in their teens and 20's, I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about how to get their finances together.

I'm sorry, is this a guide to help young people build wealth or a liberal take on all the ways the world is beating you down? I tried several times to get through this and the constant comments about systemic racism, marginalized groups, and "you are at a disadvantage" is not the positive example I want for my students. If you are white and straight, this book is not for you.

I thought this audiobook was great! I got a lot of insight on money management and it was not too overwhelming. I loved how the author broke it down into baby steps, which was really helpful. This is very insightful, and I think a lot of people will benefit by listening to this book!

I really enjoyed the book. It makes many concepts easy to understand and felt like so much is more possible after listening to the book. I found the pace to be really good too in audio.

This was an on time read. The author did a great job of tying her personal story into what led her to come up with ways to get money. It gives you the hope that despite your beginnings, if enough discipline is shown you can turn everything around. Very inspiring and informative.

<i> Empowering, approachable, and packed with smart money advice.</i>

Future Millionaire: A Young Person’s Step-by-Step Guide to Making Wealth Inevitable by Rachel Rodgers is the kind of financial book I wish I had in my hands years ago. I feel like this would be a game changing book for students and those in high school. It’s encouraging, non judgmental, and perfect for anyone wanting to get more confident with their money.

One of the biggest takeaways for me was how much this book focuses on mindset. It asks us to challenge negative beliefs not just about money, but about yourself. Your thoughts can shape your success, and reframing those internal narratives is such a crucial step toward building the life you want.

Rodgers covers the financial essentials in an easy to understand way: budgeting, the power of compound interest, "set it and forget it" investing, goal setting, and even practical things like applying for jobs, negotiating raises, and using your skills to create income streams doing what you love.

I especially loved the concept of Money Church. It's not religious but a weekly, non-negotiable date with your finances. It’s a time to review your budget, track your spending, tackle your debt, and check in with your goals. I love that it encourages building a relationship with money instead of avoiding it out of fear or stress.

This is a great book for anyone wanting to build a strong foundation, especially young people or those new to personal finance. It doesn’t feel preachy, it feels like a friend helping you level up. I’m glad I picked this one up, and I think a lot of people could learn something valuable from it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the ARC! This review is voluntary and reflects my honest thoughts.

A revised version of Rachel’s teachings intended for a young adult audience. Just as excellent as her other books and targeted perfectly towards its intended audience!

The audiobook is narrated by the author and it’s PERFECT. Rachel brings all her Rachel-ness to her own words and it’s like listening to a podcast hosted by your no-BS bestie!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

I think this is a great book for teens and new adults. Highschoolers and early college kids.
It starts with learning about how you view money and any limiting beliefs, money mindset, then moves on to saving, investing, credit and earning.
And about 90% of the book is applicable to Canadian or European youths, as well, so it's still worth it for all.

This is a great resource for young people. It teaches the nuances of personal finance in a digestible way.

If I had a book like this at 17, I would have avoided a lot of financial mistakes. While I can’t go back in time, I do find comfort in the fact that a 17yo client of mine plans to read this book.

I highly recommend Future Millionaire to teens and young adults.
