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.

Critic 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)

Great overview of financial freedom

I enjoyed this book. it gave a really good overview for how to set yourself up for financial freedom. Definitely made me think about my own circumstances and motivated me to work on my side hustle. Would recommend to anyone just learning about financial freedom, and to those who are very well versed.

Great Advice! focused on USA helpful to reach FI

Grant Sabatier narrates (it was great!), useful ideas and resources to reach FI. it does focuses in USA retirement scheam but you can apply to AUS/NZ if researching, otherwise good advise, encouragement, ideas for your side hustle and investments

Absolute gold mine

2-3 chapters really U.S orientated; 401k and tax only applicable to America but overall.. totally worthwhile for the rest of us. So many gems and so much great advice. Heavy on the strategies and light on the spiritual sh$t like so many other books..we’re trying to learn about finances not enlightenment! It felt a little off script at times which I really enjoyed, almost like a podcast or someone talking to you but made it more sincere and less robotic. Absolutely would recommend.

Good book ruined by author narrating.

Narrator (Author) can raise the pitch of his voice 3 to 4 times in one sentence along with long pauses.

Content is good but later chapters only applicable to the U.S
