Very valuable lessons - but it could be shorter. Or maybe just reorganized. I ad to wade through a whole lot of self-analysis before I got to the meat and potatoes - strategies for cutting costs, increasing income, and investing. I would say if you've read Mr. Money Mustache's blog and are on the same page, you don't even need to read this book. But if you're interested in Financial Independence, this is a great book to start with.

The first half was fantastic, I learned a ton, but the second half became extremely repetitive and disorganized. The main points of the book are worth reading, but the book's content could be cut in half.

You don't need to pay others to create your financial independence, just focus on several different principles and manage it yourself.
