You only have one life to live. Make it count.

Excellent book to motivate new investors!

Reviewed in Canada on 5 August 2021

I'm in my early 50's, I've bought RSP's throughout my adult life with the hopes of one day being able to retire comfortable. I never had expectations of being rich in retirement, comfortable was the best that I hoped for. It's only now at this point in my life that my eye's are opening up to the investment world. The author does an amazing job using analogies to get his points across and help the reader open their minds to a world they can be apart of regardless of your income or age.

I've read a few personal finance and investing books now. My goal was to find a book that I could give to my sons to really open their minds to what can be achieved especially in their young adult lives. I finished this book this afternoon and immediately ordered print copies for my 2 sons. This book was inspiring and exactly what I was looking for. If they are even half as excited about investing long term for there retirement as I am it will be a huge win.

I actually found the author on YouTube before even knowing that he had written a book. He seems to be very knowledgeable and a likeable person. He's definitely worth checking out.

I'm in my mid-30s and I found the information in the book still very helpful. Plus it's a fast easy read and the author keeps you entertained yet gives you sound advice. I've read many popular F.I.R.E. books and this is a great addition.

Two early retirement techniques never dis ussd

Reviewed in the United States on 30 September 2019

Verified Purchase

The title of this book is somewhat misleading. The title implies early retirement but then discusses mainstream retirement accounts. This discussion is very thorough but it really relates to IRA’s and 401(k) plans. Most of the investments examined are mutual funds and index funds. Two techniques for early retirement are never discussed: 1. Substantially Equal Periodic Payments from a retirement account and 2. Dividend increase. Investing for dividend increase allows for the most flexibility because the investor is placing money into stocks with growing dividends. These stocks and dividends are held outside of any retirement account and thus can be accessed at any time. No age limit applies. Furthermore, many stocks with growing dividends can by purchased through direct purchase programs through a transfer agent. Buying stocks in this fashion results in low or no fee. The dividends can be reinvested to take advantage of compounding. This is the investment technique popular with many involved in the FIRE movement.

A complete guide to make to us understand the attainability of financial freedom.

Reviewed in the United States on 29 August 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is a must-have for anyone, regardless of age, to understand how to grow and protect our money over the course of our lives. I have been a long-time listener of the podcasts (about five years) and Rob Berger has a knack for breaking down different types of financial topics and making them easier for us to understand. He also makes us aware of hidden fees and how fiduciaries can also take on additional fees which could equate to tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. I purchased this book and have read through 2/3s of it already and it was more than I expected. Excellent book that I will purchase as presents for younger family members and recommend to friends for years to come.

Perfect book for your teenage children (and to read yourself)

Reviewed in the United States on 1 August 2020

Verified Purchase

While primarily focused at US readers (because of references to savings and investment options enabled by US tax laws), this is by far the best book I’ve read on on personal financial well-being or retirement planning. I appreciate that much of the advice is given via “rules of thumb” and “guidelines” (backed by clearly explained numerical examples) which emphasize understanding one’s own circumstances rather than slavishly (or blindly or ignorantly) following a set of inflexible “expert rules”. The book is targeted at those who don’t have a background in finance, and it doesn’t talk down (on the contrary, it exposes financial industry jargon for what it is: jargon that’s easier to decipher than most people might think). While I have a degree in finance, I read this book to see if it was a worthy gift for my college-age children, none of whom took a single finance, accounting, or economics course. Let me put it this way: I will gift this book to each of my children and relentlessly insist they read it. An excellent book to read at any age (but the younger, the better).
