On August 25, 2010, Grant Sabatier woke to find he had $2.26 in his bank account. Five years later, he had a net worth of over $1,000,000. In Financial Freedom, he takes you step-by-step through the strategies he used so that you too can get out of debt, make your 9-5 job optional, and above all, live the life you want. Because you can't just save your way to financial freedom, Sabatier has created a proven plan that will help you make more money quickly without creating a budget or giving up your favorite things.

He shows you how to-
* create profitable side hustles that you can turn into a passive income streams or a full-time business
* live for free - or better yet, make money on your living situation
* negotiate more out of your employer than you thought possible
* create a simple, money-making portfolio that only needs minor adjustments
* think creatively - there are so many ways to make money, but we don't see them.

He provides strategies not just for getting out of debt or catching up on savings but actually "retiring" at any age. Perhaps the biggest surprise- You need less money to retire at age 30 than you do at age 65. Most important, Sabatier reminds us that money is unlimited; but time is not. No one should spend precious years working at a job they dislike or worrying about making ends meet. With Financial Freedom, you really can have all the money you will ever need.

Review

"Financial Freedom is about a lot more than money, it's about living a richer life."

"Financial Freedom changed my life. Reading it showed me a new way of looking at money and work that's opened my eyes to how life ought to be lived. Grant's book will not only guide you to financial freedom, it'll teach you to stop being limited by conventions and what you think you can and cannot achieve."
--Coryanne Hicks, U.S. News & World Report

"This book blew my mind."

Mixed Review. Some good info, some dangerous advice. Podcast promo better than book.

Reviewed in the United States on 12 February 2019

Verified Purchase

Overall, I give this book 3 out of 5 stars. While there were definitely some useful and helpful ideas, there was also some dangerous and flat out terrible advice. Overall, the podcast appearances promoting the book and the information discussed on those podcasts was much more impactful than the book itself in my opinion.

The Good/Helpful:
- Some useful websites for side hustles
- Unique and powerful ways to change your mindset
- Emphasis on the importance of doing as much as possible as soon as possible
- Some general guidelines around categorical spending

The Bad/Dangerous
- Limited discussion until the end of the book (p. 290) about Sequence of Return Risk. This is something few people understand and it is flat out dangerous to lead someone to potentially believe that they can retire decades earlier than "standard/normal retirement age" with significantly less money than they would supposedly otherwise need to accumulate by age 65, immediately starting withdrawing from these funds, and that their money will likely double, triple, or quadruple by the time they're much older. Yes, this is possible IF someone can remain flexible (on taking withdrawals from their assets, on generating income in "retirement"), IF someone has alternate income sources, IF market conditions are generally favorable during at least the first decade of "retirement," etc., but there is a major risk here as well. The author does mention these items and does provide a few cautionary words, but I do not think this was stressed enough for the average reader to truly understand the complete impact/considerations. I feel like most people will think, "oh, awesome, I can retire in my 30s with $1.25M, starting taking withdrawals right away, never run out of money, and my portfolio will be worth multiples of the $1.25M in my later years." More time should be spent discussing sequence of return risk.
- Asset Allocation Metrics Are Questionable: p.235 suggests only a 5% international allocation. For most investors, especially younger ones with likely higher risk tolerances, this is unnecessarily low.
- Qualified Dividends Categorization: p. 252 suggests that whether or not dividends are qualified (versus ordinary) is based on the length of time a stock is held. Not true.
- Holding Bonds/Fixed Income in Taxable Accounts: p. 254 says [...] you will keep your tax burden as low as possible at the end of each year, since bonds typically have lower returns than stocks." Really?!? Bonds income is taxed as ordinary income. Why would you voluntarily hold bonds in a taxable account and pay ordinary income taxes? Anyone who knows anything about financial planning knows that, generally speaking, it makes sense to hold growth-oriented investments, like stocks, in a taxable brokerage account (due to more favorable taxation) and fixed income investments like bonds in tax-deferred plans (since bonds are taxed at ordinary income and all funds coming out of pre-tax plans are going to be taxed at ordinary income tax rates anyway). It's not just about returns from the standpoint of capital appreciation, but total returns, which include dividend income, interest income, etc. While stocks may increase in value faster than/more than stocks over a long period of time, that does NOT mean you should hold bonds in a taxable account!
- Bonds vs. Bond Funds: p. 289 says "One nice feature of bonds is that you know exactly how your bond investments will grow each year, so the income is guaranteed." Is it? No, no it's not at all - especially if you're using bond FUNDS like the author suggests. If you hold an actual bond to maturity, it works slightly differently. Either way, that bond income is not "guaranteed."

I think the author means well and I think his story of going from dead broke to millionaire in 5 years is awesome. As he mentions, he did that with some sacrifices, including personal relationships. I wish he would have spend more time digging into this and its importance, as I feel like many people struggle with this. I think it's a great book for him to tell his story and what worked for him, but I think he should leave the financial advice to those that are much more familiar with how this stuff works. If you're looking for a similar book, but much better, I would recommend Set for Life by Scott Trench. For those interested in real estate, the section in this book on real estate is generally weak in my opinion. I agree with the author's position on putting less than 20% down in certain situations - his examples of why on this are right on. In general, though, I would suggest checking out BiggerPockets for in-depth real estate investing info.

This book is well written and accessible to everybody. Whatever the current financial situation or the goal of the lector, the concepts are all applicable, they are daily ''life hacks'' if you wish.
In addition to detailling the concepts, the author gives you a concrete exemple to illustrate it, the simple formula behind if you want to better understand or build you personal tool and a link to a tool built by the author himself. Everything is made available to get where you want to get which makes this book different!

Great information - motivating

Reviewed in Canada on 7 April 2020

Verified Purchase

The book is well written with an abundance of information. Even though I'm Canadian and the book is written for American residents, a lot of the material applies to wherever you live. Reading about success stories is interesting and makes a person think about possibilities. The important thing is to just start. It begins with a desire for something different. If you are planning on reading the book, you must have some desire and most likely can implement many of the steps and ideas Grant discusses. Best of luck in your future efforts.

Financial Awakening

Reviewed in the United States on 9 February 2019

Financial Freedom by Grant Sabatier has woken me up from years of brainwashing by the status quo model of creating wealth. Grant not only shares his own experience of how he created financial independence early he provides the strategy and tools for me to do the same. As a full time single father, I consider this book to be the most important handbook to creating financial stability for myself and other parents or single adults. Thank you Grant.

Different approach to personal finance

Reviewed in the United States on 11 February 2019

I usually don't take the time to write a review and this particular case wanted to do it; although, I'm not done reading. What like about this book is that is not only about how to manage personal finance. It's also about challenging they way people think about money and how make money. In today's society people won't get ahead by just following a money management plan, but by mastering it and increasing income. This a great guide to define what this means for you and how to go about it. Very easy to read book!

I love reading stories of people accomplishing AMAZING things with sheer determination and grit. To go from basically nothing to 1.25 million by 30 is CRAZY!! Reading this blueprint, so my husband I can continue to strive towards our goals,is more helpful than I thought it would be. I’m still reading it, but I can already tell how much valuable content we will get from this book. As millennials ourselves, I have to say that you are truly an inspiration for us. Thank you!

Edit: Love all the information on side hustling and hacking your 9-5. I think that is a major key to being able to “retire” early or become FI and not having to withdrawal principal from your portfolio. I see some of the reviews that recommend seeing professionals for tax advice and such. While it’s true that it’s wise to consult professionals for things such as tax advice, estate planning etc., this is still an amazing read that will motivate people to not give into the status quo. I think he gets that point across very well. Always read as much as you can about something you are trying to achieve. That goes without saying for everything.

Very useful, especially for millennials

Reviewed in the United States on 25 February 2019

I've read several books about personal finance, and this is one of the few that provides a roadmap to financial independence.

The ideal audience for this book is someone fresh out of college with a job making a decent middle class income. Grant provides strategies for maximizing your income and increasing your savings, which by the way is the best way to grow your wealth. The bottom line is always keep your expenses as low as possible, and spend only what you have to. Save and invest 20-50% of your income using the recommendations in the book.

I do though disagree with a few of Grant's recommendations: I think keeping a budget is very important. I've been using YouNeedABudget for almost three years now, and it has enabled me to increase my cash flow and never have to pay interests on my credit cards. I use YNAB to budget for my true expenses, and to maintain a one month buffer of my expenses. By keeping a budget, I paid off my $12k car loan in 14 months using my regular income and getting paid to build a couple of websites, as Grant talks about his book.

So if you're not disciplined about managing your money (which means you're living paycheck to paycheck, you don't have a decent emergency fund, and you're not budgeting for your true expenses), then you need to learn the budget to zero method.

Reading Financial Freedom has though inspired me to save $10-$12k this year and in years to come, and to start investing a portion of that money in a ROTH IRA account. I get a salaried income and no company 401k, so I'll need to develop more sources of passive income.

I wish I read about personal finance growing up, because it would have made a huge difference in my financial life. Financial Freedom is must read, and good guide to return to when you can start investing. But it's not the only book you should read about personal finance. Try to read at least three books a year on the subject, because handling your money and increasing your wealth is very important, especially in capitalist society like the U.S..
