Set For Life - The Finance Book I Wish I had In My 20s
I just finished Set For Life by Scott Trench.. I have to say it was a great book and I would recommend it to a lot of my friends.
The only issue I have with the book is that I picked it up a few years too late. I wish this book was out and handed to me in my early 20s. Now 30 as I am reading this book, I noticed I have done just about everything Scott has advised not to do. I have the mortgagee, car loan, and some other small liabilities instead of taking the housing hacking approach, saving a nest egg, and using it all to create some financial freedom.
I feel like Scott needs to come out with a second version called "Set For Life (For those who F**ked up the first go around)", that way I can figure out how to get out of this rat race and to start living life more on my own terms.
