Years ago I met the author in the halls of a finance conference after he'd just given a Ted talk. He's very down to Earth and it has been fun following him over the years on Facebook. Nothing particularly profound or new, but important. A lot of his insights are similar to what was written in The Millionaire Next Door. The high-income earner who is losing sleep at night paying his mortgage is living in the big house on the block and driving the fancy car. The teacher who rides his bike to work with his bagged lunch, from his 1,400 sq ft house, for decades, is the guy who makes the news for leaving $millions behind to his favorite charity. Anybody who has worked in finance will not be shocked by either.
Really enjoyed this book. Talks about how money isn’t everything but it does affect pretty much everything - most importantly your mental, emotional and even physical health and wellbeing. Strive for memories and experiences rather than things. You really can live a happy life. Striving for wealth is not a bad thing. Wealth doesn’t look like what people typically imagine - luxury cars, big houses, fancy clothes. Most wealthy people don’t look it. All financial problems have a solution.
This wasn’t earth shattering, but I really appreciated his perspective on money and personal finance. It was a good encouragement to keep going with saving for retirement and focusing on experiences over stuff.
This book was a good read, not a lot of major new ideas but having them all brought togteher into a single book for consumption made for a good read. Overall was a very quick read with good tables for data. Main thing it is missing is some of the illustrations it refers to.
It was a good reminder, an easy read, but nothing new vs other books on this topic. As most of the books on the topic of financial freedom, it is centered around US, but I got used to it so just skip these parts.
This was my first read on the topic, it was pretty informative. It helped me realize the steps I need to take in order to live a happier life. I enjoyed the read!
