Sam Dogen's Financial Samurai blog has helped over 70-million people achieve financial freedom. Now, he shares his no-nonsense playbook to build wealth and retire early through smarter spending.
When it comes to our money, many of us believe that to acquire more we have to spend less. But, the truth is that a mindset of skimping and frugality can lead you to miss opportunities for income growth and kill your dreams of early retirement. To live our best life today- while planning for an even better tomorrow- we need to make smarter, not fewer, spending decisions.
In Buy This, Not That, Dogen shares his brass-tacks strategies for building wealth, no matter how much money you have in the bank. With hard numbers and his signature straight talk, Dogen reveals the spending dos and don’ts for the biggest, and the smallest, purchases of your life. You'll learn:
• Why splurging on takeout could pay off in the long run • When it's the right time to buy a car and when you should stick to public transportation, including Dogen's proprietary "1/10th Rule For Car Buying" • What is "good debt" and "bad debt" — and the right way to pay down debt or invest • How to determine investment strategies that work for your goals and risk tolerance (active investing or passive investing? CDs or bonds?)
In topics ranging from career, to education, to family and parenting, to lifestyle and real-estate-Dogen shows how to calculate your optimal calorie-per-dollar budget.
You don't need to be a millionaire or a genius to achieve financial freedom. It's about making the most of your money, now, and forever-and it's never too late to get started.
