From the author of Just Keep Buying, a groundbreaking new framework for building wealth

Do you feel stuck financially? Are you working more, trying to spend less, yet still not seeing results? If so, the issue isn’t your effort—it’s your approach.

This is where The Wealth Ladder comes in. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme or a one-size-fits-all solution to your money problems. It’s a new philosophy for thinking about money altogether.

In a world where interest rates shift, careers take new turns, and desires evolve, our financial strategy must keep up. This is why The Wealth Ladder breaks wealth into six distinct levels, each demanding its own strategy. What works at Level 1 won’t cut it at Level 6—and vice versa. You’ll learn exactly how to handle your spending, income, investments, and more, with tailored advice for every stage. The result? Smarter choices, less stress, and a clear path upward.

Because building wealth isn’t just about hard work—it’s about applying the right strategy at the right time to focus on what matters most.

Fortunately, you won’t need to guess on where to focus next because The Wealth Ladder has the answer. The only question left is: Are you ready to climb it?

Excellent heuristic for thinking about wealth accumulation and its impact on your life

A different perspective from a lot of other personal finance literature that doesn’t consider higher net worth’s

Very well done

Solid book which details the various levels of wealth and how to achieve them. As well as a compilation of other lessons and wisdom.

Straight talk

Nick offers invaluable insight for not only understanding the wealth ladder, but also clarifying the pitfalls and advantages of each step. I highly recommend.

Required Reading - Essential

I’m in finance and learned so much. Not because of complexity but because of its elegance.

The simple concepts in this book sweep away the mess of jargon and formulas for you to see the bigger picture clearly.

It’s simply easier to play a game once you know the rules and it’s easier to enjoy a game once you understand how the winners play it. This primer on wealth accumulation allows you to see the game, rules, and players on the various levels plainly.

Once you read this you can see, then you can determine what winning looks like for you in your life, what level you truly desire to work toward and what is required to accomplish that level of play.

This should be required reading for every middle schooler, every year until the children leave college - regardless of career path.

Nick, Thank you for writing this.

Interesting Perspective!

I’ve read over 100 financial books and really enjoyed Nick’s point of view and stories. The pdf was a nice compliment.

That I want to listen to it again!

Helping to place my LiFE™ pursuits in logical and emotional perspective is definitely eye-opening and appreciated!

Worth its weight in gold

Awesome book, love Nick's writing, perfect for anyone looking to get to the next level in their wealth journey

My Slide From The Wealth Ladder

While I spent years enjoying the short time sliding down after my very tough climb up the ladders I now know the true happiness is gained with those focussed climbs Thank you for explaining the wealth tiers of just about all lives.

Great book

Loved the author’s fresh perspective on wealth. Highly recommended book no matter where you are on your wealth journey.

Great Data-Driven Audiobook

I was hesitant to buy this audiobook because, if you’ve listened to Nick on podcasts, he speaks too fast and sometimes you can barely understand what he’s saying. But the pacing and intonation in this audiobook were amazing. Looking forward to the next book, Nick.
P.S. LOL at the mention at the end that AI is not allowed to use this work!
