About this listen
The International Best Seller
"This book blew my mind. More importantly, it made financial independence seem achievable. I read Financial Freedom three times, cover-to-cover." (Lifehacker)
Money is unlimited. Time is not. Become financially independent as fast as possible.
In 2010, 24-year-old Grant Sabatier woke up to find he had $2.26 in his bank account. Five years later, he had a net worth of over $1.25 million, and CNBC began calling him "the Millennial Millionaire". By age 30, he had reached financial independence. Along the way, he uncovered that most of the accepted wisdom about money, work, and retirement is either incorrect, incomplete, or so old-school it's obsolete.
Financial Freedom is a step-by-step path to make more money in less time, so you have more time for the things you love. It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional nine-to-five job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers listeners an alternative: Forget everything you've ever learned about money so you can actually live the life you want.
Sabatier offers surprising, counterintuitive advice on topics such as how to:
- Create profitable side hustles that you can turn into passive-income streams or full-time businesses
- Save money without giving up what makes you happy
- Negotiate more out of your employer than you thought possible
- Travel the world for less
- Live for free - or better yet, make money on your living situation
- Create a simple, moneymaking portfolio that only needs minor adjustments
- Think creatively - there are so many ways to make money, but we don't see them.
But most importantly, Sabatier highlights that while one's ability to make money is limitless, one's time is not. There's also a limit to how much you can save, but not to how much money you can make. No one should spend precious years working at a job they dislike or worrying about how to make ends meet. Perhaps the biggest surprise: You need less money to "retire" at age 30 than you do at age 65.
Financial Freedom is not merely a laundry list of advice to follow to get rich quick - it's a practical road map to living life on one's own terms, as soon as possible.
©2019 Grant Sabatier (P)2019 Penguin AudioCritic reviews
"Financial Freedom is about a lot more than money, it’s about living a richer life." (David Bach, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Automatic Millionaire and The Latte Factor)
"Grant's genius is on full display in the entrepreneurial attitudes and strategies in this practical, fiercely focused book. Financial Freedom fills a major gap in Your Money or Your Life that I didn't even realize was there. Thank you!" (from the foreword by Vicki Robin, New York Times best-selling coauthor of Your Money or Your Life)
"Simply put, this book will help you make money. You'll also learn to save, invest, and better manage your money - all good things! I hope you have the foresight to read and apply its many lessons." (Chris Guillebeau, New York Times best-selling author of Side Hustle and The $100 Startup)

It's a solid format for you to follow.
Although some will say that there is nothing new here if you have listened to Dave Ramsey, David Bach etc, Grant does give you great advice about how he did it and I found it refreshing with the few twists he adds.
The main thing is he really pushes your sideline income as a must to invest and this is a great tip as many people will always spend side income. Don't do this and invest it and you get closer to the end goal quickly. Also, all the tools he gives are really excellent on his website. Ignore the mostly American bias....we have IRA's and 401ks in the UK... they are just called something different. The basis is the same or similar. A good book and Grant is a good guy.

Enjoyable and Interesting
Only put this as 4 stars as a lot of the content is tailored towards an American audience. Which is great if you live in America but not if you live elsewhere. Apart from that the book is really insightful and I’d recommend.

Many great nuggets
Someone left a review here making the point that it's useless if you're not American, however I found that although there was a lot to disregard for us UK folk, the principles were universal and I found a lot of value In this book. Clearly a lot of work went into it and I think I may have another listen at some point, with a pen and paper to hand.

last few chapters worth listening to.
found it incredibly repetitive. They repeat mathematical sums for compounding etc so many times I had to skip over.

Great book, triggers instant change in your life
Great audiobook! Managed to finish in a week whilst commuting to and from work and thoroughly enjoyed it. whilst the tips and tricks throughout are very valuable, there are certain areas that lean towards Americans only (I live in the UK), but that shouldnt stop you from giving it a go wherever you are from.
My journey to financial freedom began after the first chapter and having listened through to the end I can now forsee what I need to do and how long it will take to get to my journeys end.

Don’t buy this book if you’re not American! It’s all about how to make it in America..Useless!!
I say this because the author talks about IRAs all the time which is irrelevant to me as an African...I don’t care about the US system, to me it’s a waste of time.
But the message is simple and everyone will tell you.
- Live on less than you earn, save and invest the remaining to grow your wealth.

Nothing new
From someone that retired in 5 years I expected more than just earn, save, invest and repeat. This could be specific tools for building passive income or a guide to how to deserve and ask for a raise. A missed opportunity to empower others.
