Publisher's Summary

The International Best Seller

"This book blew my mind. More importantly, it made financial independence seem achievable. I read Financial Freedom three times, cover-to-cover." (Lifehacker

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 over $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 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 that 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.

What the critics say

"Financial Freedom is about a lot more than money, it’s about living a richer life." (David Bach, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Automatic Millionaire and The Latte Factor)

"Grant's genius is on full display in the entrepreneurial attitudes and strategies in this practical, fiercely focused book. Financial Freedom fills a major gap in Your Money or Your Life that I didn't even realize was there. Thank you!" (from the foreword by Vicki Robin, New York Times best-selling coauthor of Your Money or Your Life)

"Simply put, this book will help you make money. You'll also learn to save, invest, and better manage your money - all good things! I hope you have the foresight to read and apply its many lessons." (Chris Guillebeau, New York Times best-selling author of Side Hustle and The $100 Startup

Excellent. Simple concepts, very valuable

Really liked this book. A lot of the tools are American specific, but the overall concept is great and can be used easily in any region. This book has made me think differently about money, and the priority of saving. Wish I had read this a decade earlier!

good info

mostly good info. one section on how credit works seemed misleading / inaccurate. some stories seem exaggerated like the person that makes $200k a year by hiring people to walk dogs; this does not seem achievable for everyone. also, his fake/ nervous laugh makes me feel like he is not confident or a conman - not sure

Unbearable narration

I don’t normally write audible reviews but when I do it’s to complain about the narration. This narrator ruins a good book by ending every other phrase in an upspeak. For a pre-millennial like me who actually learned to read out loud this audio book is unbearable. Guess I will have to buy the book because I cringe every 5 seconds here. The book is probably worth it.

Refreshing look at work and life balance

I'm 27 years old and have been searching for resources to help with financial independence. This book makes it clear that saving, investing, tax optimization, and side hustling work. Listen while you hustle you sexy thing you!
