Publisher's Summary
What if a happier life was only a few simple choices away?
A successful entrepreneur living in Southern California, Scott Rieckens had built a “dream life”: a happy marriage, a two-year-old daughter, a membership to a boat club, and a BMW in the driveway. But underneath the surface, Scott was creatively stifled, depressed, and overworked trying to help pay for his family’s beach-town lifestyle. Then one day, Scott listened to a podcast interview that changed everything. Five months later, he had quit his job, convinced his family to leave their home, and cut their expenses in half. Follow Scott and his family as they devote everything to FIRE (financial independence retire early), a subculture obsessed with maximizing wealth and happiness. Filled with inspiring case studies and powerful advice, Playing with FIRE is one family’s journey to acquire the one thing that money can’t buy: a simpler - and happier - life.

Worth a read
I enjoyed it very much. very inspiring and well narrated. Could have been a bit more detailed on the investment part but still, nothing a little extra research won't fix.

Enjoyable and useful
I found the narration to be very good and the story engaging. I’d listen to this again as I found some of the parts insightful and I appreciated the authors perspective on FI:RE.
Worth your time.

The perfect book for anyone interested in FIRE
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. As someone that is new to the concept of FIRE (at 33) I felt like maybe I’d missed the mark. However this book shined light on my own self limiting beliefs. An easy listen to anyone looking at starting their FIRE journey or interested in learning more

Motivating to the very end
This is not so much a finance book as it is a book on mindset and perseverance. It hits chords and gives ideas that could assist every individual and couple to pursue financial freedom.
