Read the summary ↓Summary — what Financial Freedom is about
After going from broke to financially independent in about five years, Grant Sabatier lays out a step-by-step system to buy back your time. He reframes money as freedom and focuses on aggressively growing both income and investments.
The book emphasises increasing earnings through side hustles and skills, saving a high percentage of income, and investing it in low-cost index funds — while calculating your personal 'number' for freedom.

- Calculate your freedom 'number' and reverse-engineer the plan.
