Best Books On Financial Independence
Blogs are good. Podcasts are also good. But, sometimes you just need a book. And there are a ton of books on Financial Independence. While podcasts and blogs are easy to access and free, books have their strengths. Books are usually edited and organized in a way that it is more comprehensive and easier to digest. In this post, I distill my favorite books on Financial Independence.
By the way, I live in Korea so, it’s easier for me to go the kindle/audible option. I can listen to them while commuting or exercising. Anyway, let me know what you think. And please share if you have any other recommendations.
