From two leaders of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, a bold, contrarian guide to retiring at any age, with a reproducible formula to financial independence
A bull***t-free guide to growing your wealth, retiring early, and living life on your own terms
Kristy Shen retired with a million dollars at the age of thirty-one, and she did it without hitting a home run on the stock market, starting the next Snapchat in her garage, or investing in hot real estate. Learn how to cut down on spending without decreasing your quality of life, build a million-dollar portfolio, fortify your investments to survive bear markets and black-swan events, and use the 4 percent rule and the Yield Shield–so you can quit the rat race forever. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur or a real estate baron; the rest of us need Shen’s mathematically proven approach to retire decades before sixty-five.

Wonderful read. For learning about the author as much as the subject material.
Having read 9 books on finances and investing this year, I can honestly say I really, really enjoyed this book. Though some things won’t apply to everyone, a lot of the information provided is of good, sound advice. And it also reafirmed what I have already been doing has been good.More important that the investing information is the life story of author Kristy Shen and her husband Bryce Leung. I suppose its easy to write an investing book and say “do this” or “do that”. But Kristy’s life, her growing up and the struggles as an immigrant in Canada, and understanding her psychology when it comes to money really set this book apart. I actually genuinely enjoyed learning about her and what she went through as much as the investing information itself. Having learned that I think helped me and should help the reader believe that what her thought process is when it comes to investing.She created and put in a lot of quality, useful data and tools to help people understand how money works for and against you. Its worth the time to read this book and I highly recommend anyone interested in the subject to get a copy.

Fantastic Personal Finance Read!
I’ve been a long-time fan of the financial independence retire-early movement. I’ve read lots of books on personal finance, most of which were written by a white, American males. These books have been great, but at times doesn’t reflect my reality. So as a Canadian female, it’s been refreshing to read a personal finance book written by Kristy and Bryce a Chinese Canadian couple. They detailed their journey and outlined components of their personal finance journey in easy-to-understand way. I’ve listened to them on podcasts and follow them on their millennial revolution website. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in this topic.

Life reminders
I’ve read about half the book, and it’s not bad. It reminds you of the excess we have and how we can break things down in life to the necessities. Living like a minimalist to save for the future and what matters. This book is a good reminder of what matters in life and does guide you on how to achieve what you are looking for. For $1.99, is pretty good value and would definitely recommend.

Easy to digest & actionable
I have worked in Business banking for 12 years, and have a thorough understanding of financial ratios, balance sheets and managing risk for the bank….what I did not have was any knowledge around investing, so I buried my head in the sand. IInvesting always seemed so complicated whenever I would speak to the financial planner at the bank….but I feel like it is their job to make it seem complicated so you have to rely on them. Quick Like a Millionaire was such an easy to digest book with actionable steps to replicate the authors own success. My husband and I have already started to implement the strategies from the book, and are seeing it great success so far. If you are business for self, this is a must read for you, to be able to start investing for retirement. If you are not business for self, this book shows you how to take matters into your own hands and stop losing out on money to the bank in fees charged by financial planners and fund managers.Happy Investing.

I think another title for this book could be ZEN and the art of FIRE. Of course, FIRE would stand for Financial Independence Retire Early. The FIRE concept it’s self is super fun to think about, but Ms. Shen really shines as she brings her A game to this book! It has so many reasons to be a great read.1. Her personal story from poverty to Millionaire really helps to demonstrate that this same result is reproducible for most people. It also provides a perfect backdrop to carry us through the stages of FIRE literacy.2. She is so comprehensive with all the things you need to know, but not in an overwhelming way. She breaks it up into small chunks that are easier to take in.3. She is pushing the boundaries of what is possible with FIRE. You can do a lot once you have achieved FI, she chose to retire early. But more than that she is following her dream of writing. Also, she is working on figuring out how to live a life of traveling, while gathering information on cost of living and other strategies for reducing expenses. That sounds like another book to me and if it is anything like this one, I say YES PLEASE!4. I don’t know how she does it, but she has a real talent for understanding that people are all different. This is such a strength for this book as she is able to show the endless flexibility of how FIRE can be approached.Finally, I just want to say, Kristy you have done very well with your own finances but the hard work to put that in an easy to understand book to share with the world gets you a thousand golden origami cranes worth of positive Karma! Thank you!

El libro me ha encantado, y es muy útil te da mucha información para alcanzar la independència financiera. Aunque vivo en España he empezado a ahorrar y ha invertir en fondos indexados. Se leer en inglés por que yo también fui inmigrante durante unos años.

Plein de livres de finances personnelles nous conseillent de démarrer un business. C’est facile à dire mais pas du tout facile à mettre en oeuvre par ceux et celles qui n’ont pas la “fibre entrepreneuriale”. Dans ce livre, Kristy Shen présente sa propre stratégie qui lui a permis de prendre sa retraite anticipée à 31 ans tout en voyageant autour du monde alors que son portfolio d’investissement n’a fait qu’augmenter depuis.Cette stratégie est celle de l’optimiseur, celui qui n’a pas un super revenu ni des super investissements à la Warren Buffet, mais qui a une super capacité d’épargne. Le but c’est le FIRE (Financial Independence / Retire Early ou Indépendance financière / Retraite anticipée), avec des pointeurs pour les personnes qui pour diverses raisons ne peuvent pas atteindre un FIRE complet.Cela fait un petit moment que je lis des livres portant sur les finances personnelles et l’investissement mais celui-là est le premier que je lis sur le FIRE. Ceci étant dit, je l’ai trouvé très intéressant et utile pour plusieurs raisons :* l’auteure (enfin, le couple) n’était pas une privilégiée, ayant démarré la vie dans un état de pauvreté abjecte ; elle a réussi à attendre ses objectifs financiers en prenant des décisions rationnelles et en travaillant dur ;* le livre présente des stratégies reproductibles pour sécuriser son portfolio ; si vous avez entendu parler de la règle des 4% mais que vous vous demandez comment ça marche si on veut compter sur plus de 30 années post-retraite, ou comment faire au cas où on prend sa retraite anticipée et qu’un long bear market se déclenche pile poil après, cet ouvrage propose des solutions solides ;* il y a plein de détails d’optimisation fiscale qui peuvent vous donner des idées ; certes, le livre est écrit pour un public américain ou canadien, donc les 401(k) ou les IRA ne sont pas applicables chez nous en France, mais ça vaut la peine de regarder dans ce sens là le PER français post-2019 ; l’abattement pour les dividendes et les plus values qui existe aux US n’existe pas en France, par contre il y a un abattement de 40% sur les dividendes sous certaines conditions ; à creuser !* le FIRE a deux composants, le FI et le RE ; du coup il y a plein de moyens hybrides évoqués dans ce livre pour atteindre l’un de ces deux objectifs-là ou pour gagner plus de temps ; parce que, comme dit l’auteure, ce livre n’est pas forcément un livre portant sur l’argent, mais sur le temps (money = time, le revers de time = money).Bref, j’ai appris plein de choses et ça ma donné plein d’idées !
