Summary

What is financial independence?

Is it having enough money to live a normal life, or is it having so much money that you just don’t care about expenses?

Everyone wants to be independent, but as you've likely experienced, getting there is not as simple as it looks. There are a variety of pitfalls along the way, and a single mistake can set you back by years.

Fortunately, there is a blueprint or method for you to follow. It’s quite simple. It’s called FIRE and virtually guarantees financial independence. By following these rules, you can wave goodbye to that tired old desk job you’ve chained yourself to.

Some of the things you’ll learn about FIRE is:

  • What assets really are - and why you’ve been thinking about them all wrong
  • The crucial difference between debt and leverage
  • Ways to travel for next to nothing - and what you need to do before that
  • Needs and wants - do you know the difference?
  • The ideal way to invest in the stock market
  • Drawdowns - how and when to do them
  • How much do you really need to be financially independent
  • And so much more!

Financial independence is not a pipe dream! It is a question of following a certain path intelligently and with persistence. It might not be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. So, if you want to learn how to retire early, then you should listen to this audiobook.

Exactly what I needed

Great book. It has a lot of information that can be applied without having a ton of capital stashed away. Most often the strategies I've seen require a lot of upfront but this is very accessible :)

Great book on the subject!

I found this audiobook very useful and informative. Covers a good range of key topics to get your finances in shape. After listening this audiobook, I feel more confident about how to get the most out of my paycheck. It helps people to understand not only how to save money, but also how to understand all the different advantages and disadvantages to using credit, and other forms of financial systems. Highly recommended!
