Financial Freedom
by Grant Sabatier
Sabatier went from $2 to $1.25 million in five years and lays out the FIRE playbook: calculate your number, cut the big three expenses, increase income through side hustles, invest in index funds, optimise taxes. It is more income-focused than most FIRE books, which is its advantage.
Read it if…
you want early retirement maths with equal weight on earning more.
Skip it if…
you dislike hustle; half the book is about it.
Three things you will actually use
- Your number is the goal; everything else is strategy.
- Income has no ceiling; frugality does.
- Time is the asset you are buying.
Do this first
Calculate your number with the book's method before reading the saving chapters.
Our verdict
