    About this ebook

    Learn to build a stable financial foundation that will carry you through times of economic uncertainty. Fans of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Total Money Makeover will love the actionable advice in this personal finance bestseller!

    Set yourself up for life as early as possible, and enjoy life on your terms!

    Are you tied to a nine-to-five workweek? Would you like to “retire” from wage-paying work within ten years? Are you in your 20s or 30s and would like to be financially free―the sort of free that ensures you spend the best part of your day and week, and the best years of your life, doing what you want? By layering philosophy with practical knowledge, Set for Life gives young professionals the confidence they need to conquer their financial goals early in life.

    Building wealth is always possible, even while working full-time, earning a median income, and making up for a negative net worth. Accumulating a lifetime of wealth in a short period of time involves working harder and smarter than the average person, and Scott Trench—investor, entrepreneur, and CEO of BiggerPockets.com—demonstrates how to do just that. Even starting with zero savings, he demonstrates how to work your way to a five-figure income, then to six figures, and finally to the ultimate goal of financial freedom.

    Readers will learn how to:

  • Save more income (50+ percent of it) while still having fun
  • Double or triple your income in three to five years
  • Track your financial progress in order to achieve the greatest results
  • Build frugal and efficient habits to make the most of your lifestyle
  • Secure “real” assets and avoid ”false” ones that destroy wealth
  • And much more!

      The first book to ever have such an impact on my life. And what I’ve learnt from it, I have already started acting on some of it. It was very practical, detailed and an easy read. The examples made were very helpful and they provided clarity. The 5 star rating is not because I’m trying to be nice.
    • 5/5
      This is a great book. It was informative, to the point, and provided a lot of value to the reader. This is not a one-idea, advertisement-ridden, "look at my success", and filled-with-fluff book. It is one of the best books I've read in the business/investment/lifestyle realm. It gave concrete steps to getting where you may want to go and pros and cons of different options.

      I highly recommend it.

      Very American focused but it’s structured well so I took some points.
    • 5/5
      The author Scott Trench has tremendous vision for creating wealth. Lots of good stuff to learn in this book. Wealth building begins with frugality.
    • 5/5
      Great book and different perspective than many other personal finance books.
