Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, the founders of Earn Your Leisure and authors of You Deserve to Be Rich, challenge traditional notions of the American Dream. They argue that the widely accepted idea of financial success—owning a home with a white picket fence and achieving stability—does not reflect the realities of many Black and Brown individuals. Economic disparities and systemic obstacles have created an uneven playing field, making this dream unattainable for many. Rather than encouraging people to conform to a singular vision of success, Bilal and Millings emphasize the need for personalized financial goals supported by education, mentorship, and access to resources.
