What is financial independence?

Is it having enough money to live a normal life, or is it having so much money that you just don’t care about expenses?

Everyone wants to be independent, but as you've likely experienced, getting there is not as simple as it looks. There are a variety of pitfalls along the way, and a single mistake can set you back by years.

Fortunately, there is a blueprint or method for you to follow. It’s quite simple. It’s called FIRE and virtually guarantees financial independence. By following these rules, you can wave goodbye to that tired old desk job you’ve chained yourself to.

Some of the things you’ll learn about FIRE is:

  • What assets really are - and why you’ve been thinking about them all wrong
  • The crucial difference between debt and leverage
  • Ways to travel for next to nothing - and what you need to do before that
  • Needs and wants - do you know the difference?
  • The ideal way to invest in the stock market
  • Drawdowns - how and when to do them
  • How much do you really need to be financially independent
  • And so much more!

Financial independence is not a pipe dream! It is a question of following a certain path intelligently and with persistence. It might not be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. So, if you want to learn how to retire early, then you should listen to this audiobook.

FIRE it definitely is. I find that David Jacobs has done a lot of research in writing this book and gives us a ton of useful information to put us on our path towards financial independence! He succeeds in lighting a fire in us for us to start working towards achieving or at least start thinking about financial independence. The elusive goal seems tangible after reading this informative book. The way the book is structured is excellent, the advice given is practical and the strategies that are mentioned all work. What struck a chord with me was 'time leveraging' and how to go about it. Priceless! The narration of Geoff Moonen is great as well. I would highly recommend it.
