3 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
What if a happier life was only a few simple choices away? A successful entrepreneur living in Southern California, Scott Rieckens had built a “dream life”: a happy marriage, a two-year-old daughter, a membership to a boat club, and a BMW in the driveway. But underneath the surface, Scott was creatively stifled, depressed, and overworked trying to help pay for his family’s beach-town lifestyle. Then one day, Scott listened to a podcast interview that changed everything. Five months later, he had quit his job, convinced his family to leave their home, and cut their expenses in half. Follow Scott and his family as they devote everything to FIRE (financial independence retire early), a subculture obsessed with maximizing wealth and happiness. Filled with inspiring case studies and powerful advice, Playing with FIRE is one family’s journey to acquire the one thing that money can’t buy: a simpler — and happier — life.

Easy quick read but I think that‘s because it was so intriguing and relatable (not the money part but the values, ideas, wants, thoughts, etc). I really enjoyed this one. It‘s got me so motivated.

This book has me pumped up about the fact that I don't have to work till age 65 to retire. Though I'm treading with caution on the whole FIRE outlook I believe it's possible. This is an easy read that will open the world to other resources in the FIRE community. Definitely recommend!
