The International Best Seller

"This book blew my mind. More importantly, it made financial independence seem achievable. I read Financial Freedom three times, cover-to-cover." (Lifehacker) 

Money is unlimited. Time is not. Become financially independent as fast as possible.

In 2010, 24-year-old Grant Sabatier woke up to find he had $2.26 in his bank account. Five years later, he had a net worth of over $1.25 million, and CNBC began calling him "the Millennial Millionaire". By age 30, he had reached financial independence. Along the way, he uncovered that most of the accepted wisdom about money, work, and retirement is either incorrect, incomplete, or so old-school it's obsolete. 

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.

Sabatier offers surprising, counterintuitive advice on topics such as how to:

• Create profitable side hustles that you can turn into passive-income streams or full-time businesses
• Save money without giving up what makes you happy
• Negotiate more out of your employer than you thought possible
• Travel the world for less
• Live for free - or better yet, make money on your living situation
• Create a simple, moneymaking portfolio that only needs minor adjustments
• Think creatively - there are so many ways to make money, but we don't see them.

But most importantly, Sabatier highlights that while one's ability to make money is limitless, one's time is not. There's also a limit to how much you can save, but not to how much money you can make. No one should spend precious years working at a job they dislike or worrying about how to make ends meet. Perhaps the biggest surprise: You need less money to "retire" at age 30 than you do at age 65.

Financial Freedom is not merely a laundry list of advice to follow to get rich quick - it's a practical road map to living life on one's own terms, as soon as possible.

A MUST FOR FINANCIAL READERS

This book really helped open my eyes and offer a whole new way to look at finances. I love finance books, money books, sales books, etc. Financial Freedom just hit different. Very interesting, keeps readers attention well, and offers real, actionable perspective on life.

Would highly recommend to anybody interested in getting their finances right.

Great advice and information !!

Great advice and information I wish I had 20 years ago. Must read for young adults and parents that want to help educate.

Love this book!

Grant does a good job a narrating this book. His content is fantastic and I loved every second of it. Sometimes his inflection was a little strange... but other than that! I loved it!

Very Informative, Practical And Eye-Opening Book

Recommend it to anybody who is struggling in his/her financial life and aims to reach a higher standard than average.
I will definetly listen to it again because this audiobook offers extremely useful advices on how to reach financial freedom.
1 pro tip: take some quick notes while listening to the chapters.

good book

This is a solid read for anyone aspiring to FI. It gets a little boring when he goes on about retirement accounts for a chapter or two but it's important for alot of people. Lots of good info for people interested in personal finance.

This one is different- practical presentation of how wealth building works

Just like maintaining your weight requires attention to your diet and exercise, Grant presents what has to occur to reach financial health. Where he goes a different direction from other writers of wealth accumulation- and this is it’s strength- is it moves from the question ‘what do you want?’ So much of what I’ve read and heard screams ‘you should be very afraid’ and paints pictures of retirement eked out on a diet of crackers and ketchup. Grant has supplanted that fear focus with vision.

‘What do you want?’ moves on to a practical determination of ‘what will it take?’ He goes beyond just the calculations. There are already abundant sources available elsewhere for computing the impossibility of a satisfactory retirement. Yes, he has you do the math. His purpose is to give the outcome workable boundaries. Unlike other guides, Grant doesn’t stop there.

In giving practical actions you can do to close the gap from where you are to where you see yourself, Grant deviates from the mainstream. The reassurance that you can do this comes from the realistic actions he shares. You read/hear them and realize ‘I can do that’. This goes way beyond other literature which peppers you with examples of individuals (ex: Susie Q. in Denver) who accomplished independence through applying the principles (although Grant gives some of those examples too). I never related to those exceptional cases, other than a vague feeling that maybe I could do it. Thinking about the steps Grant provides makes me feel this is doable.

I wish I had this 30 years ago. I think I can apply what I’ve learned to have the retirement I want, albeit at a conventional retirement age. Better late than not at all. Thanks, Grant!

Amazing

Without a doubt this is one of the best financial books I've ever lisned to.

Great listen! Very inspiring!

A lot of insightful tips with main point bullet point recaps at the end the end of each section.

Must read !!!!!

This book opened my eyes to a lot of mistakes I was taught and a lot of mistakes I was going to make. I was in debt at the beginning of the book and after some glaring issues I had I started to recover and build income and credit.

Informative

This was very helpful. I enjoyed it. I now know financial literacy. Thank you.
