Tell me if you've heard this before... Go to school, get a degree, work 40 years, and then you can retire at 65 and finally live the dream. It's outdated advice. Not only do more people work after hitting 65, but plenty of people are retiring before they hit 40. If you want to accelerate your path to financial independence, make sure you read this book... Personal finance is as simple or as complex as you make it. Knowing the important numbers and acting upon them will help you hit retirement several years earlier.
This is a quick summary of the FIRE method with a few tips and tricks thrown in. The author writes from a young perspective but that doesn’t mean he gives bad advice. He shares what he knows and what works for him. There are a number of typos that were kind of distracting but it didn’t take too much away from the overall message.
