"There's no
bETTER time
to buy back
your time

From Wiley, the publisher of Australia's no. 1 best-selling personal finance book, comes Freedom First, a controversial new title that will challenge everything you think you know about wealth, security and financial freedom.
“Do you want to be financially free?
Plenty of people will say yes; but what if I told you that we’ve been going about it backwards all along?”
Debt, locking your money away, being tied to a job and relying on a volatile market are all ways we sacrifice our freedom now, for the promise of financial freedom sometime in the future. Freedom First teaches that if you dream of becoming rich, so that you can be financially free, you need to start by getting free first.
And the freer you get, the richer you will become.
From retirees discovering that after a lifetime of work their savings have left them dependent on the whims of a capricious market, to millennials starting out in a world where many of the old securities are gone, Freedom First has a message for everyone, drawing on wisdom as old as Confucius and sharing insights from Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon and some of the biggest tech billionaires today. It shares counterintuitive insights such as why you shouldn’t save for retirement, or for emergencies; why rent money is not dead money; why you need to buy back your time, before you buy back more time; why spending your life chasing security won’t make you secure, rich or free; and why earning an income, even a good one, may be keeping you poor. This book uncovers a timeless principle of wealth creation and explores life-changing insights and powerful wealth creation strategies that allow you to achieve financial freedom, now.
