Summary

We all make poor financial decisions sometimes. No one knows this better than J.D. Roth.

In 2004, deep in financial debt, Roth resolved to turn things around. Reading every money book he could, and putting that knowledge into practice, he dug himself out of debt and built enough wealth to retire early. He is now, at the age of 51, financially independent - and on a mission to help others achieve financial freedom, too. No gimmicks, no games. Just proven methods that work.

In this audiobook, Roth takes you inside the trending world of financial independence and early retirement, giving you the tools both to achieve financial independence and to improve the quality of your everyday life. You'll explore the ins and outs of the "FIRE movement", a collection of ideas and habits that allow people to manage their money so they can quit working while they're young. You'll consider the shockingly simple math behind financial freedom. You'll also examine the philosophy and psychology of how - and why - we spend, save, and invest.

Financial freedom is possible. And no matter what your goals are, these 10 lessons will bring you closer than ever to achieving what that freedom means: happiness, fulfillment, and a rich life.

This should be taught in School

So much of this is just solid practical financial advice and it staggers me that this isn’t part of educations essentials. Understanding basic financial functions. More so than this it demonstrates how achievable financial independence is without winning the lottery or receiving a large inheritance. The focus on achievable goals for any income rings true. You could save a lot, but most importantly, save something!

A few FIRE calculations for me to check out

Succinct holistic strategies for those who want to retire early. Staying disciplined to maintain them is a mindset challenge though.

Uk 50 something

Good basic book/course, that is easy to understand. Forget the “get Rick quick!” Genre, when you have this genre of “don’t get poorer”

Best Book on Financial Independence

Over the years, I've read many books on financial literacy, financial freedom, financial independence, etc. but very few are as practical and concise as this one.

While most of the books I've read have done a little more than merely motivate me, this book is packed with practical steps to actually get started on this journey.

It's presice, to the point and easily applicable with a reasonable degree of self discipline. Also the narrator is energetic and exciting so you'll hardly dose off on this one.

Great read!
