From the vanguard of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, a bold, contrarian guide to retiring at any age, with a reproducible formula to financial independence-no gimmick, luck, or trust fund required.
Quit Like a Millionaire is a bull***t-free guide to growing your wealth, retiring early, and living the life you've always dreamed of.
As The New York Times recently noted, FIRE is "a growing movement of young professionals who are intently focused on quitting their jobs forever." 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. In Quit Like a Millionaire, 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. It may sound complicated, but Shen is here to tell us that if she did it, anyone can. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur or a real estate baron; the rest of us need her mathematically proven approach to retire decades before sixty-five.
Shen is not your typical investment guru. She grew up in abject poverty in rural China, worked for a decade as a middle-class immigrant professional in Canada, and now travels the world as a retired millionaire. In short, she really walks the walk, and here she shares the mindsets she developed at each income level that launched her to the next.
“"This book wants you to be rich: in money, in time, and in life. You have come to the right place. [Kristy and Bryce] take you through the process step by step, with actionable things that you can do no matter what your age, location, background, or education."-- JLCollins, bestselling author of The Simple Path to Wealth " Quit Like A Millionaire is about so much more than making money, traveling the world, and retiring early (although it teaches you how to do all three insanely well!). It's a new roadmap to living an awesome life! You don't need to settle for status quo. Life's too short for that; so don't. This book will both inspire and entertain you, while actually giving you the steps and mindset to become a millionaire. Retiring early isn't easy, but it's never been easier in history to make it happen. There's no fluff here. This is the real deal."-- Grant Sabatier, author of Financial Freedom ; creator of Millennial Money "When your money and priorities are in sync, you find financial peace; I've taught that principle for years. Kristy's personal story showed me how one does the scary work required to discover those real priorities. This book is a testament to the power of knowing what you want your money to do for you with absolute clarity, and then going after it unapologetically."-- Jesse Mecham, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of You Need a Budget ; founder of YNAB "Shen and Leung are the poster couple of the FIRE movement, which is spreading worldwide." -- Women's Health Australia "Two heroes of the FIRE movement." --Salon”
