About the book
What if your money could give you more than things?
What if your money could give you the freedom to say yes to the life you want and no to the life you no longer want?
That question is at the heart of Building Freedom Funds: How to Grow Wealth and Say Goodbye to Financial Shackles, a candid and practical guide to rethinking what financial freedom means and how to intentionally build it.
Written by Dafina Lovelace, a technology and financial services executive, investor, entrepreneur, and UVA Darden MBA, Building Freedom Funds draws on a career spanning the White House’s U.S. Digital Service, financial services, and wealth technology. Dafina combines technical expertise and business acumen with the hard-earned lessons of her own financial journey to make money and investing more accessible and actionable.
But this isn't simply a book about investing.
It's a book about freedom.
Dafina wrote Building Freedom Funds for high-potential, high-achieving people who earn well, work hard, and do many of the “right” things educationally and financially, but still wonder if their money could be working harder.
Because earning money and building wealth are not the same thing.
Drawing from her own money journey and lessons passed down from her mother and grandmother, mentors, mistakes, debt, fear, research, and years navigating financial systems, Dafina makes wealth building personal, relatable, and actionable.
At the center of the book is a simple idea:
Wealth is not the destination. Freedom is.
This is not a get-rich-quick book.
It's a get-free book.
Freedom Funds creates choices. Through building financial capacity and redefining your relationship with your own money story, you activate your agency. Freedom Funds can give you the ability to leave a job, start a business, help your family, weather an unexpected season, travel, retire on your terms, or simply stop allowing money to dictate every decision you make.
This is not a get-rich-quick book.
It's a get-free book.
You don't need to be born wealthy. You don't need to be a Wall Street expert. You don't need to have it all figured out.
You need to start, and be consistent.
Building wealth is a skill.
And skills can be learned.
Building Freedom Funds invites readers to learn those skills, trust themselves with their money, and build something more valuable than wealth alone: the freedom to choose the life they actually want.
“Your money has more potential. So do you.”
