I read this book because it came highly recommended by so many people and I am pleased to share that it absolutely did live up to my expectations.
What I really liked is the simple and timeless wisdom about things that matter the most such as:
- how important it is to get the financial goal post to stop moving
- understanding that the greatest privilege is being able to spend your days the way you want with the people you want
- making investment decisions that help you sleep better at night
While we already know many of these things, it was good to be reminded of them through the stories and examples the author shared.
Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
“doing something you love on a schedule you can’t control can feel the same as doing something you hate.”
“Money’s greatest intrinsic value—and this can’t be overstated—is its ability to give you control over your time.”
“Independence, to me, doesn’t mean you’ll stop working. It means you only do the work you like with people you like at the times you want for as long as you want.”
