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!

Amazing content! a must for young professionals!

Scott Trench was able to summarize countless personal finance articles, podcast, and other media for which I have received my own mindset about finance and life as a whole. Where the hell was this book back when I was getting out of college! this book is like a great combination of rich dad poor dad by robert kiosaki and I will teach you to be rich by Ramit Sethi. this book is an absolutely perfect gift for any young professional looking for a manual on adulting done right, or even better than "right". read this book, implement these strategies, and prosper! - Nat Geary

Amazing source of information!

As an avid reader of audible(I typically listen to 40 hours of audible a week) I often find myself coming back to this book each month. The amount of information in this book is outstanding. As a young 22 year old man seeking financial freedom I have not come across any other financial book that goes into such detail on what to do and what to look at when it comes to finances. If you are seeking a phenomenal financial book that can aid you towards financial freedom check this book out!

Where was this when I was younger?!

Only regret if this book is that it is not being taught in schools yet. Some of the greatest advise I have received from almost all the books I have listened to. I will listen to a 12 hour book for one nugget of truth, this may be the city of gold when it comes to speaking he truth.

It offers an up to date guide specific measures to dramatically increase your savings rate and invest in real assets. Have recomended to my friends.

Awesome book for those motivated to “retire” early

This book offers great practical advice and steps to take to be financially free much earlier in life than normally expected. This is not about get rich quick and easy. Some parts of the book get a little slower than others in my opinion, but overall it was well worth the listen. I find myself quoting scenarios from this book all the time in conversations with friends and family on money.
