How to Achieve Financial Independence and Retire Early

By: JD Roth, The Great Courses

Narrated by: JD Roth

We all make poor financial decisions sometimes. No one knows this better than J.D. Roth.

In 2004, deep in financial debt, Roth resolved to turn things around. Reading every money book he could, and putting that knowledge into practice, he dug himself out of debt and built enough wealth to retire early. He is now, at the age of 51, financially independent - and on a mission to help others achieve financial freedom, too. No gimmicks, no games. Just proven methods that work.

In this audiobook, Roth takes you inside the trending world of financial independence and early retirement, giving you the tools both to achieve financial independence and to improve the quality of your everyday life. You'll explore the ins and outs of the "FIRE movement", a collection of ideas and habits that allow people to manage their money so they can quit working while they're young. You'll consider the shockingly simple math behind financial freedom. You'll also examine the philosophy and psychology of how - and why - we spend, save, and invest.

Financial freedom is possible. And no matter what your goals are, these 10 lessons will bring you closer than ever to achieving what that freedom means: happiness, fulfillment, and a rich life.

Retirement strategy 101

If you've never thought about retirement before, this will help frame the problem.

But it may feel too basic for folks who already have retirement funds, who think about how to increase income and cut costs, etc..

I needed this!

It is never too late, and I believe that! It is a great eye opening book!

Eye opening

There were some things in this book that I had to idea about and it has opened my mind up to new and rewarding possibilities. It breaks down the savings part for me which I really needed to know and the wealth snowball was an excellent chapter that I had to reheat at least twice. Overall, this book has been very insightful and I now understand a lot more about money and how I can continue to use this tool to my advantage.

Excellent Audiobook

I would recommend this Audiobook to anyone. I’m currently an Undergraduate Student and this book has definitely increased my knowledge. JD Roth explained his point of view in an effective manner.

good stuff!
