Publisher's summary

Retire early from your nine-to-five and reach financial freedom with the actionable advice in this personal finance best-seller—now completely revised with new content from the author!

Building wealth is always possible, even while working full-time, earning a median income, and paying off debt. By layering philosophy with practical knowledge, Set for Life gives people in their 20s and 30s an action plan they need to conquer their financial goals early in life. With more than 130,000 first-edition copies sold, this anniversary edition gets a refresh with new content, updated numbers, and even more valuable tips and tricks learned over the last five years.

Scott Trench—real estate investor, co-host of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, and CEO of BiggerPockets—demonstrates how to accumulate a lifetime of wealth over a short period of time. Even starting with zero savings, you can go from a five-figure income to six figures, from an active job to passive income, then finally to the ultimate goal of financial independence.

Set yourself up for life as early as possible, and enjoy life on your terms!

Inside this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Save more income (50+ percent of it) while still having fun
• Double or triple your income in 3–5 years
• Track your financial progress in order to achieve the greatest results
• Build frugal and efficient habits to make the most of your lifestyle
• Secure “real” assets and avoid ”false” ones that destroy wealth
• Use real estate and stock investing to generate passive income
• And much more!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This book should be required reading for all college graduates. It provides a different perspective on how you should manage money in order to be literally set for life. As a single mother of 2 I will teach my daughters how to look at money differently. If make a sacrifice not and be frugal, you can have a life style you desire later and earlier then the norm. He gives advice on cutting 2 major expenses which are your housing and transportation expenses. A latte will not set you apart financially like a house or car note. I absolutely love this book and have started to put his advice into action. Thank you for sharing.

For those willing to make their own path

I realized that a 9-5 for 40+ years wasn't going to work do me no matter how much I earned. This book answered the question of how to free myself from this horrible time suck people generally accept

Very good book!

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to achieve financial freedom and early retirement.

Great book!

Wonderful message, helped changed my perspective in life. Now looking for new properties to house hack and invest into. Can't thank Scott Trench enough!

Loved it! Forwarded to 15 people!

Best thing I've ever heard! Wish I would have had this in college or before in the Marine Corps while all of my living expenses were being paid.

Incredible read

This is a profound book with an interesting take on financial freedom. I really enjoyed it. Get it.

Inspiration, cold hard facts, and unique insight to make your life better now and later.

I recommend this book for anyone and everyone. From deep in debt people to millionaires; you will all benefit. Take control of your financial future with these principles and insights. Everybody has the option to choose the path to financial freedom. This book makes you realize that you just need to take the reigns and make it happen for yourself. Nobody will do it for you. Thank you Scott. You are as helpful as you are powerful.

awesome

the voice the reader keeps you engaged. you hear the expressions in his voice which keeps it interesting. this book has given me ALOT to think about and alot of good ideas. I'm eliminating tv from my life and replacing listening to music at work with listening to audiobooks and podcasts to increase my knowledge for my future goals!!

WOW

As someone who knew very little in investing and living for the goal of the "American Dream". This book opened my eyes and refocused my attention towards new goals and aspirations for my life. THIS is the key. I couldn't be more grateful.
Also, will probably read a few more times.

Superb!

I am recommending this book to all of my friends and family. This is bar none the most educational and impactfull personal finance book I have ever read.
