Quit Like a Millionaire

No Gimmicks, Luck, or Trust Fund Required

By: Kristy Shen, Bryce Leung, JL Collins - introduction

Narrated by: Kristy Shen, JL Collins

From two leaders of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, a bold, contrarian guide to retiring at any age, with a reproducible formula to financial independence

A bull***t-free guide to growing your wealth, retiring early, and living life on your own terms

Kristy Shen retired with a million dollars at the age of thirty-one, and she did it without hitting a home run on the stock market, starting the next Snapchat in her garage, or investing in hot real estate. Learn how to cut down on spending without decreasing your quality of life, build a million-dollar portfolio, fortify your investments to survive bear markets and black-swan events, and use the 4 percent rule and the Yield Shield--so you can quit the rat race forever. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur or a real estate baron; the rest of us need Shen's mathematically proven approach to retire decades before sixty-five.

*Includes a PDF of detailed charts, graphs, formulas, illustrated strategies, and the complete appendices from the book, to help reach financial independence and retire early.

Excellent info

I was slow to purchase this book because I thought it was going to just rehearse things I already know and mostly do. Boy, was I wrong. Of course much of it is familiar but there was so much new content that I was engrossed the entire time. Well done.

Amazing- don’t stop until the end

Wow! Mind blown! I have to admit Kristy took her time in the first 8 or so chapters “setting the stage” for how she come to her conclusions but when you get the “ah ha” moment - it’s amazing. I talked to my husband and son in detail about “the American dream” that we were sold. Totally re thinking everything now. I want to get it right and help set up my kids to live a more financially stable and rewarding life. Thanks for taking the time to write this book!

Loved it

I bought this book as an audio book so I could force myself to listen to it while driving. Well there was no need, i finished within a couple of days and no driving involved. Great advise, coupled with a fascinating life story, even if you're not looking at becoming financially independent, it will improve your investing and the way you look at money!

OUT-F’n-STANDING!!!111...

I finished the book in a few days, but I just finished the audio book on my daily five mile lunchtime walk around or business campus.

As I stand here at my standing desk in my “award winning” open office shared work environment “cube”, (/s) I finally feel like I have the missing pieces of the FI puzzle I’ve been searching for.

After spending many years squirreling away my pay and bonus’ into index funds after reading so many FI blogs since I first discovered the ERE blog what seems like ages ago. I finally realized FI, but being an “Optimizer” I have been stuck on the “one more year” loop. The mechanical how to GTFO pieces I was missing were mainly the Cash Cushion and Yield Shield.

Now that I have these concepts/tools, and other nuggets of wisdom from this book, it’s just a matter of reorganizing the portfolio for the yield shield pivot so I can exit stage left from this HCOL state and re-settle and establish residency in a LCOL zero state tax state as our base of operations before we start on our journey of long travel overseas.

Thank you Kristy & Bryce! See you down the road.

Must Listen!!’

One of my favorite investment books to date! Not only did I learn a lot, but the narrator is hilarious. You won’t be sorry. I’m going to listen to it a second time to full grasp all the concepts.
