Welcome to the World of Financial Freedom, Welcome to The Non-Trepreneurs!
In The Non-Trepreneurs, you'll discover how we, Julie and Jason Buckley, escaped corporate life for a life of financial freedom. We don't rave about how 'anyone can do it!', because we don't believe everyone can. It's hard, it's tough, but it's worth the effort. We know that becoming financially free is a difficult, long and slow process, because we've done it.
We reached financial freedom in 2015, aged 43, so we have had a good few years of 'living the dream'. We didn't win the lottery, inherit a fortune or develop and sell a business. We didn't find freedom by being entrepreneurs (hence the title of the book).
Instead we followed the FIRE approach, 'Financial Independence Retire Early' where we changed our mindset around money which enabled us to take control of our lives, to save and invest a large percentage of our take-home pay. Eventually our investments generated enough income to cover all our costs and we removed the need to work, permanently, for the rest of our lives.
In the book we give you an honest view, along with the good, the bad and the ugly of not only setting off on the path to financial freedom, but also what might happen when you actually achieve it.
While not everyone wants to quit their job, many people want more control over their time and money, which can lead to a more meaningful and simplified life. Our hope for this book is simple: that it helps you to achieve your goals, by solving the financial problem a whole world of options will open up to you.
