Excellent personal finance book!

This book is the condensed version of the Dough Roller podcasts. It is essentially his podcast of how to build wealth on any income, 7 level of financial freedom, 4 pillars of investing, and many other of his podcast that I can’t remember the titles to, but Is saved on my podcast! I could just say skip the book and listen to his podcast but this book summarized the best of his podcast into a book! I loved how Rob explained his philosophy of investing and saving and make you think as a true investor would instead of some gospel of rules that don’t apply to everybody. I highly recommend this to anybody who want financial freedom at any age.

great book, great motivation

hard numbers threw and threw, great advice. this book does explain in simplest terms how to become financially independent, how much you need to save, what your own investment portfolio should have to get the most sustainable return. what those numbers add up to over 30 to 45 years of continous investing threw the right sectors. proves even someone with a small salary of 25k per year, can become a millionaire by investing in the right entities. motivated me to change my investments to balance my portfolio. proces how this can be done at any age, what you need to do, where you need to monitor to live below your means and bank the rest to accumulate your retirement fortune. lays out the plan, all up to you to follow threw on it.
great motivator!

Financial freedom in a nutshell!

I highly recommend this book if you are trying to set yourself on the path to financial freedom. Rob does a great job of putting things in perspective and backing it up with the data. I started on the path late in life so already had a good base to work from but I learned a lot more and found there are some things I can work on. Well worth the read.
