About this ebook

From two leaders of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, a bold, contrarian guide to retiring at any age, with a reproducible formula to financial independence

A bull***t-free guide to growing your wealth, retiring early, and living life on your own terms

Kristy Shen retired with a million dollars at the age of thirty-one, and she did it without hitting a home run on the stock market, starting the next Snapchat in her garage, or investing in hot real estate. Learn how to cut down on spending without decreasing your quality of life, build a million-dollar portfolio, fortify your investments to survive bear markets and black-swan events, and use the 4 percent rule and the Yield Shield--so you can quit the rat race forever. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur or a real estate baron; the rest of us need Shen's mathematically proven approach to retire decades before sixty-five.

Ratings and reviews

If it were only that easy to "Quit Like a Millionaire". I mean getting a high paying engineering job as a couple is super relatable. Lookup Danish Ghazi on YouTube

You really have to read the book it is really good. One of the best books I've seen so far because of the fact that it's not like somebody other financial books where they only tell you a certain thing and then they tell you to buy something else afterwards. This one they tell you exactly what needs to be done to accomplish the goal. They are definitely very nice people and also have a free workshop online as well. Plus was a lot of other handy tips as well on the website.

A lot of story telling in the beginning, but very informative when it comes to organizing a portfolio to be tax optimized for retirement no matter what age you're able to do so.
