Welcome to our Financial Independence Library
Welcome to our carefully curated list of financial independence (FI) books! Each title here has been handpicked because it profoundly influenced the way I think about money, wealth-building, and financial freedom. A five-star rating here signifies potentially life-changing impact—books that can inspire you to radically transform your financial journey for the better. Four-star rating books are also excellent and a must-read for anyone pursuing financial independence. I have read a lot of three-star books (and worse), but these of course did not make it to the blog!
Some of these books are also covered in depth on the blog, and I’ve included links below to related articles where applicable, so you can dive deeper into key takeaways and actionable insights.
