Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Financial Freedom: A Proven Path to All the Money You Will Ever Need
Grant Sabatier · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Grant Sabatier (with an introduction narrated by Vicki Robin)
80/100
👍 Worth It
Sabatier's seven-step framework for financial independence is legit — a CFA/CFP reviewer said as much — and his emphasis on growing income rather than just cutting spending sets it apart from a lot of FIRE-genre books. It's an inspiring, high-energy listen, especially good for FIRE newcomers just starting out. He narrates it himself with Vicki Robin's intro lending real movement pedigree, so the audiobook is absolutely worth the listen.
