★★★☆☆
The Roadmap to Financial Freedom gave me several useful concepts, questions, and benchmarks for thinking more intentionally about my financial life, but I found myself distracted by what felt like insufficient editing and revision before publication. Some concepts could have been explained more clearly, and the book leans heavily on a fairly traditional model of financial freedom that doesn’t necessarily account for less conventional lives or financial goals.
That said, I absolutely got value from it. It gave me standards against which I could examine my existing financial framework and plenty of financial principles to consider for their fit with the life I’m designing. I finished the book with concrete actions to apply to my own financial wellness.
My biggest takeaway wasn’t a particular savings percentage, account, or investment strategy. It was the distinction between financial advice and financial design: a principle can be useful without becoming a rule, a benchmark can inform me without dictating my life, and someone else’s definition of financial freedom doesn’t have to become mine.
Ironically, The Roadmap to Financial Freedom was most valuable when I stopped treating it as the roadmap and started using it as raw material for my roadmap. For those looking for a step-by-step guide to achieving financial freedom through a more traditional framework, this is a great place to start.

This book on personal finance is a must-read for everyone. From the start, it's clear that Brennan is a sharp, ambitious educator who genuinely cares about helping readers improve their finances. As I progressed, I was impressed by how effectively he simplified complex concepts, making them accessible to those without a background in business or finance. Each chapter ends with actionable steps, empowering readers to take concrete actions toward financial freedom. The structure is flexible: read a chapter, implement the steps, and move on, or read the entire book and return to the action steps later. This adaptability makes it an excellent resource for anyone serious about improving their finances.

A lot of very good principles. The basic structure is sound. Brennan has proven this method for people who make more than $100k per year. There is a lot of forgiveness if you have a high income. There are some points I would argue don't work as well for people with lower incomes.
Brennan also provides a lot of deep details and very specific pattern to follow. I have found that about a third of the population (detail-oriented people) would very much enjoy building up their financial plan from this book.
Overall a very good book.

Great reminders of financial steps. While I knew most of what was mentioned in the book, there were a few tools of which I wasn't aware. This book helped solidify my own financial beliefs as well as how I teach financial literacy to my students.

Very good, nuts to bolts guide to building your financial pillar from scratch. Actionable steps that if taken will definitely lead you to more financial stability and over time, to financial wealth. Highly recommend.

Read this on my commute to a copacker. Some good tips in here. I need to reread the physical book to get the most out of this content.

Just basic information found in other books written before. Not much new knowledge or system.
