Resumen del Editor

What if a happier life was only a few simple choices away?

A successful entrepreneur living in Southern California, Scott Rieckens had built a “dream life”: a happy marriage, a two-year-old daughter, a membership to a boat club, and a BMW in the driveway. But underneath the surface, Scott was creatively stifled, depressed, and overworked trying to help pay for his family’s beach-town lifestyle. Then one day, Scott listened to a podcast interview that changed everything. Five months later, he had quit his job, convinced his family to leave their home, and cut their expenses in half. Follow Scott and his family as they devote everything to FIRE (financial independence retire early), a subculture obsessed with maximizing wealth and happiness. Filled with inspiring case studies and powerful advice, Playing with FIRE is one family’s journey to acquire the one thing that money can’t buy: a simpler - and happier - life.

Great book to read even just for the knowledge

if you'd young and have had any type of financial curiosity.... have watched or listened to Dave Ramsey and felt that you understood him but just didn't feel that excited or it came eye to eye with your goals ... I highly recommend this book! very diverse and great! I highly recommend if your motivated about financial growth and freedom

Great for anyone considering FIRE

This was a really enjoyable listen thanks to both the content and engaging delivery. If you understand the basics of FIRE and are thinking of starting your journey, listening to Scot and Taylor describe their personal FIRE adventure is inspiring

Wow

This really opened my eyes to the possibilities. I believe in Minimalism but it iss not enough. This gives me more details on the journey that I am taking. Looking forward to the Documentary.

Must have!!

I highly recommend this book!! He have some references throughout the book as well. This my first time leaving a review.

Eye Opening

This (audio) book is awesome regardless of your financial situation. I have been debt-free and working on financial i dependence since 2017 and found new ways to speed up my journey.

Great personal story on path to Financial Independence

I highly recommend this story of a family who awakes from Consumerism and realizes they can retire 20 years earlier if they live differently.

An eye opening experience

I found this book through the Average Money Podcast. I had recently gotten into stocks and became interested in growing my capital through investments and eventually Real estate. This book showed me that I have been stuck in an endless consumer nightmare. I was wondering how I made a said amount of money annually but was not saving much at all. I was trapped in a loop that wasn’t going to break anytime soon. I was always waiting for the next big break or job. This book as inspired me to become money frugal and conscious of my spending habits. Focus on the what’s that are important to me and not the ifs that bear no meaning. Great book.

Very Eye Opening

I really like all the ins and ths outs of the story, ths ups and downs, felt it was very honest, direct and not too long. highly recommend.
