Good morning, internet friends!!
Hope you had a good rest and are ready for some financial goodness! I don't have any money to give away today sadly, but I do have the next best thing per Benjamin Franklin: a book! After all,
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest!” 😎
I think he would be keen on this type of book too, considering how he was the O.G. of early retirement.
“Retire By 30”
How to Build Wealth, Gain Freedom, and Live Life on Your Own Terms
It comes from fellow friend and podcaster, Cody Berman, who not only has the coolest mom ever (Hi Ruth!), but has also figured out how to hack life, by way of his finances, much earlier than anyone I know. Myself especially!
His book on this just came out TODAY, and I've got three copies to give away if it sounds like something you're interested in.
More from his website:

“If you want to reach Financial Independence faster than most people think possible, this book is for you. It doesn't matter if you're 18 or 58. The principles work at any age.
Retire By 30 breaks financial independence into a clear, step-by-step system. You'll learn how to define your retirement number, optimize your biggest expenses, grow your income, and invest with confidence using a simple order of operations. The goal isn't extreme frugality or risky bets. It's building wealth through repeatable systems that give you control over your time.
You don't have to do everything — but if you implement even a few strategies, you can put yourself years ahead of your peers.”

The italicizing and bolding up there is my own because it's an important piece!! This stuff doesn't happen overnight, but by starting little habits NOW it'll exponentially increase your wealth with each passing month – even if you never do another thing. And I'm glad he mentions that you can start on this *no matter your age* too because you really can! Don't mind that click bait title of the book! 😂
I actually didn't start paying attention to my own money until I was almost 30. And it took about 10 years or so of really focusing to feel comfortable enough and knowing that I was going to be set. Similar to others too from what I've heard – 10 years seems to be a magical number if you get to hustling and stick with it. The time is going to pass anyways, you might as well have something to show for it!
If you're interested in the book, answer the following question down below in the comments or via email if that's where you're reading this and you'll be entered to win one of the 3 copies:
At what age do you think you'll actually retire at?!
I'll go first…
I (tried) retiring at 42, but that only lasted a few months haha… Now if we're using “financial freedom” interchangeably here, then I was just under 40 when we officially accomplished that. And though I rarely make any extra money these days (in fact, I give out more than I make now!) our net worth has more than doubled since then just by following these same steps that I'm sure Cody shares in his book (full transparency – I haven't read it yet but I know enough about him to trust it's good!).
Alright, your turn! Share your best guess and you'll be entered to win! We've got 3 copies to give away, and I'll pick the 3 winners sometime after midnight this Sunday, May 17th.
For more info about the book, check out Cody's website here – RetireBy30Book.com – or visit its Amazon page (affiliate link): amzn.to/3PaMKeB
Good luck! And congrats Cody! Looking forward to hopping on your show soon and spilling my own new project to the world here shortly 😉
