About this listen

"A practical mix of finance, philosophy and psychology. Dave is an Aussie FIRE pioneer." (Aussie Firebug)

What would life be like if you never had to work for money again?

That might sound like a fantasy. But gaining financial freedom is far more achievable than you think.

Dave Gow retired at 28, after a decade of working as a forklift driver. He didn’t win the lottery, inherit a fortune, or get lucky in the stock market. Instead, he discovered a simple set of principles that helped him spend less and invest more, all while increasing his happiness.

If you’re fed up with the rat race and wish you could live a life of freedom and fulfilment, his story will show you the path. In this book, you’ll learn:

  • The mindset that helped Dave build wealth and retire at 28
  • Proven tactics to optimise your spending for more savings and more enjoyment
  • How to easily build a portfolio of passive-income-producing investments
  • The secrets for living a happy and satisfying life while working towards your financial goals

From the author of the popular Strong Money Australia blog, this book is your complete roadmap to reaching financial independence and retiring early in Australia.

“Most people think financial independence isn’t possible on a normal salary, but this book shows exactly how it’s done.” (Pete Wargent, author of Get a Financial Grip)

“Dave’s story is an honest and inspiring reflection of what it takes to succeed financially. His book is a field guide for understanding the world of money, and yourself.” (Owen Raszkiewicz, founder of Rask)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What a great read and an incredible range of ideas. I found Dave Gow’s book so helpful and encouraging- it has changed my perspective on work and money. Clear, easy to understand and delivered with a down-to-earth warmth that makes you feel like you’re talking to a good friend.

Empowering, exciting and relatable

I liked that it is a book for anyone with an interest in becoming more financially free.

It doesn’t try to solve all the problems by providing too much detail, instead giving a general philosophical approach to getting out of the rat race as early as possible.

If you are truly committed to achieving some or complete financial independence, you will do the rest of the research and work yourself to reach your goals.

A potentially life changing book for anyone.

Very inspiring and easy to follow

Great book full of everything you need to get started on your financial independence journey. Dave is easy to listen to, knowledgeable and presents information in a balanced and unpretentious way. I will happily recommend this to my friends and family who are FI beginners.
