The Biggest Truth In Personal Finance

For the past six weeks, I've been hard at work writing my “introduction to financial independence and early retirement” project for Audible and The Great Courses. It's been challenging — and fun — to rework my past material for a new audience in a new format. Naturally, I'm emphasizing two important points in this project: profit and purpose. I believe strongly that you need a clear personal mission statement in order to find success with money (and life). I also believe that the most important number on your path to financial freedom is your personal profit, the difference between your income and your spending.
