This book provides an overview, insight, and the practical training needed for everyday life, alongside the theoretical explanations of the underlying causes and how you can leverage this knowledge. This is the approach used by the FIRE* generation, as well as professionals with degrees in business and economics (such as MEA, or MBA) explained in everyday language for your own personal life. It covers everything from the introductory section on alternative cost, to the final chapter on the concept of infinite growth. The author has created Excel apps and models that mirror the book's structure, chapter by chapter. (FIRE* - Financial Independent, Retire Early).
