From 18 to 30

Your 20's are construction years.  What you build in this decade can free you for the rest of your life, or make the next decade harder than it has to be.  From 18-30: Don't Waste the Decade is a direct, practical blueprint for the young Black man who refuses to drift into adulthood without a plan.  Across 48 chapters, Lucius Alston walks through the decision that shape a man's future:  work, skill, money, credit, housing, health, relationship, fatherhood, leadership, entrepreneurship, community, recovery, and legacy.  This is not hype and it is not a get rich quick promise.  It is a system for building year by year, from getting your footing at 18, to becoming valuable, building financial and career capital, expanding your options, consolidating the man, and resetting when life has put you behind.  Inside you'll learn how to build marketable skills, protect your record and reputation, master money habits, invest early, choose better relationships, prepare for fatherhood, build a business without fantasy, lead before you have a title, recover from setbacks and lost years, and enter your thirties with a clear ten year vision.  Twelve years.  Forty eight chapters.  One life.   Build it on purpose.
