Episode notes

JL Collins is one of the most respected authors in the financial independence community. His book, The Simple Path to Wealth, became the FIRE movement bible, giving clear, concise, easy-to-follow, and often unbelievably simple advice on achieving financial independence and retiring early. One of the most striking lessons from the book? You DON’T need to be rich to retire early or build wealth. Whether you make $40K or $400K per year, you can start building your financial freedom TODAY.

Since its publication, The Simple Path to Wealth has inspired millions of people to find financial freedom, and many who have achieved financial independence or are well on their way have been in contact with JL. In his new book “Pathfinders: Extraordinary Stories of People Like You on the Quest for Financial Independence?And How to Join Them,” JL shares stories of the rich, poor, and even bankrupt readers who were able to turn their lives around and find financial freedom, no matter their circumstance.
