About this audiobook
Money is unlimited. Time is not. Become financially independent as fast as possible.
In 2010, 24-year-old Grant Sabatier woke up to find he had $2.26 in his bank account. Five years later, he had a net worth of more than $1.25 million, and CNBC began calling him "the Millennial Millionaire". By age 30, he had reached financial independence. Along the way, he uncovered that most of the accepted wisdom about money, work, and retirement is either incorrect, incomplete, or so old-school that it's obsolete.
Financial Freedom is a step-by-step path to make more money in less time, so you have more time for the things you love. It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional nine-to-five job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers listeners an alternative: Forget everything you've ever learned about money so you can actually live the life you want.
Sabatier offers surprising, counterintuitive advice on topics such as how to:
- Create profitable side hustles you can turn into passive-income streams or full-time businesses
- Save money without giving up what makes you happy
- Negotiate more out of your employer than you thought possible
- Travel the world for less
- Live for free — or better yet, make money on your living situation
- Create a simple, moneymaking portfolio that only needs minor adjustments
- Think creatively — there are so many ways to make money, but we don't see them.
But most importantly, Sabatier highlights that while one's ability to make money is limitless, one's time is not. There's also a limit to how much you can save, but not to how much money you can make. No one should spend precious years working at a job they dislike or worrying about how to make ends meet. Perhaps the biggest surprise: You need less money to "retire" at age 30 than you do at age 65.
Financial Freedom is not merely a laundry list of advice to follow to get rich quick — it's a practical road map to living life on one's own terms, as soon as possible.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was very inspiring. Got some great ideas while I listened to it in my car ??
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5After reading many books on retirement, money and side hustles- this has many points covered. But the best part I liked is the 11 points to keep in mind before making a purchase. That itself is many times worth the book in my opinion.
Overall a great book.2 people found this helpful

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The author lost me on the advice "stop budgeting". I am not sure that advice is good for every individual reading this book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Out of the 12 books I went through this year, this is the best by far. Already strategizing on how I can put things into place to retire at 32.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Book is fluff. author does a lot of napkin math to make points but offers no solid recommendations that would account for that math. Some basic principles I've found to be valuable in my own experience but author gives no context for others to understand why.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely love this! Just finished listening the audiobook. Very inspiring and has gotten me motivated to change my one financial habits. To be fair, most of what Grant speaks about isn’t novel to me but it’s put in such a way that make believe (realize?) that there’s more to what I’m doing with my life currently and what I can achieve. One of the most poignant things he spoke about and is repeated throughout the book is: money is infinite; time isn’t. Don’t waste time. This book may have changed my life. No kidding.
