Financial Freedom is a step-by-step path to make more money in less time, so you have more time for the things you love. It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional nine-to-five job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers listeners an alternative: Forget everything you've ever learned about money so you can actually live the life you want.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are both concerned. Their concern is that the rich are getting richer, but America is getting poorer. The entitlement mentality is epidemic, creating people who expect their country, employer, or family to take care of them. And like the polar ice caps, the middle class is disappearing. America is becoming a two-class society, and soon you will be either rich or poor. Trump and Kiyosaki want you to be rich.

'Time poor' is the catch-cry of our era, and yet end-of-life retirement means we have an average of two decades of feeling time rich to look forward to...when we're old. How arse-about is that? But there is an alternative to working your butt off for decades and retiring when you're worn out: it's called financial independence, and it means being able to cover life's essentials and afford the luxuries you want without having to turn up to a job each day.

Determined to retire as early as possible in order to start living each day - as opposed to wishing time away working for the weekends - they enacted a plan to save an enormous amount of money: well over 70 percent of their joint take-home pay. Dubbing themselves the Frugalwoods, Elizabeth began documenting their unconventional frugality and the resulting wholesale lifestyle transformation on their eponymous blog.

Retire early from your nine-to-five and reach financial freedom with the actionable advice in this personal finance best-seller—now completely revised with new content from the author!
Building wealth is always possible, even while working full-time, earning a median income, and paying off debt.

With more than 130,000 first-edition copies sold, this anniversary edition gets a refresh with new content, updated numbers, and even more valuable tips and tricks learned over the last five years.
Scott Trench—real estate investor, co-host of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, and CEO of BiggerPockets—demonstrates how to accumulate a lifetime of wealth over a short period of time.

- Save more income (50+ percent of it) while still having fun
- Double or triple your income in 3–5 years
- Track your financial progress in order to achieve the greatest results

Great detailed steps
Loved this book. Gave a clear plan in Chapter 13 of habits that will help propel you to reach financial freedom. Ways to get started, be more mindful and disciplined on spending, side hustles, house hacking. (of which I'm implementing). Follow this as soon as possible then you can choose to work not have to. Love listening to Scott on Bigger Pockets.

Some solid wisdom, a bit preachy
Sound Financial Independence (FI) advice:
- targeted specifically at young adults just starting their FI journey
- who are based in the USA
- and wish to passionately pursue FI.
However, many of the principles are applicable to older listeners, those living outside of the USA, and those who may not be in quite as much of a rush to achieve FI.
The messages are delivered with absolute conviction, sometimes in a somewhat school teacher like manner...this can be grating, particularly in some areas where I found myself at least partially disagreeing with the author. For example, I found myself disagreeing with the author's aversion to retirement accounts. His main argument being that you need to focus on usable investing money now if you are seeking early retirement and not lock the money away for decades. He did admit to several circumstances where retirement accounts do make sense though I suspect this strong messaging may lead some people to make poor decisions.
The structure of the book is good. However, some of the arguments were well presented with good story telling and analogies while some were a bit superficial...almost like the author was in a rush to complete the manuscript.
Overall, well worth the read and I took away a lot of sound pointers.

Good for those without their mortgage
One of his main points is purchasing property to then use it as a primary residence and rent part out, this ain’t applicable for myself who has a mortgage, married and a child. Most other points are practical and of good use however.

For the middle class American man
Are you a middle of the rung American man preferably in their 20s or a late bloomer who wants to jump onto the FI bandwagon - then this is for you!
While obviously the tactics described within would work equally as well for the middle of the rung American woman, the authors poignant use of gendered language makes a strong case that this is for our Average Joe.
General tips and tricks are in line with other FI or FIRE compilations so unless you’re a middle of the rung American man you won’t find anything new here; otherwise, if you are an Average Joe, then Set For Life is likely a well formed playbook you can put to use at delivering your own Hail Mary touchdown in your financial SuperBowl of life!
