Publisher's Summary

"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.

Nice up to date relevant AU focussed book

Yeah ok it came good! He started off with a lot of fluff. The mindset stuff, which i appreciate is important but I think a lot of readers want to get into the nitty gritty strategy stuff. Thankfully he does get there, though be it with a few more smatterings of life advice, probably better for someone in their 20’s. Wish I’d found it then to be fair, Still worth a listen in your 30/40’s though. Yeah overall I enjoyed it and got value from the book! Nice to have something Ozzie focused and more relevant than the old barefoot! Would recommend

This book covers almost everything you need to know to live a simple, rich life and all presented in Dave's humble Aussie voice. Loved it.
