The traditional life model is broken. Is spending the first 22+ years of your life getting educated, the next 45+ years working, and the remaining 15-20+ years (if you’re lucky) in retirement truly living life to it’s fullest? The financial independence (FI) movement began to address these issues. FI emphasizes reducing expenses and aggressive saving so a large percentage of your income can be invested to eventually produce an income stream that exceeds your living expenses, at an age significantly before the traditional retirement age. Once FI is achieved, working for money becomes optional, leaving more time to spend with loved ones or pursue passions you may have neglected over the years. Simply put, FI gives you more options in life. The books listed below will help you on your FI journey.
