This book is squarely about the slow-and-steady side of financial independence. It's not really about gaming the system or getting out of debt or complicated investment strategies and such.

I love J.L. Collins' site (jlcollinsnh.com). I like his book too. It's pretty much the same kind of content, only more edited - less snarky, a bit less controversial. I'm surprised "Why your house is a terrible investment" wasn't discussed, actually. I did appreciate his perspectives on the wealth-conservation stage though. I've seen a lot of information on the wealth-building side of things, but it's nice to see what's still coming up (RMDs, an actual withdrawal plan).

I don't really follow everything he advises (I have some bonds and international exposure), but his is definitely a viable path, in my opinion.
