Summary
"Journey to Launch podcaster Souffrant debuts with a sound program for achieving financial independence, which she defines as being able to live on the "money you've accumulated in your investment accounts... indefinitely." Her five-step program involves figuring out what your bills and liabilities are in comparison to what you're earning, paying off most debts, establishing an emergency fund, investing consistently and growing your assets, and maintaining a financially sustainable lifestyle once one accumulates enough wealth to support themselves without a job. Souffrant's down-to-earth style makes financial principles accessible. The author is also unusually sympathetic to the notion that sometimes short-term spending can be worth postponing financial independence, as when she recounts her decision to splurge on a family trip to Disneyland instead of investing the money. Additionally, her suggestions are specific and pragmatic.... Approachable and sensible, this gets the job done." --, Publisher's Weekly, (2023)
