Financial Independence is about achieving your financial dreams and making them into a reality.  It is not a "get rich quick" scheme nor does it promise you will be a millionaire overnight; instead, it offers practical, "down to earth" strategies for building wealth.  One does not have to be wealthy to achieve their financial goals, but they do need to have a sound plan and have basic financial literacy.  This book serves as a useful guide towards getting you started on that path where you can manage and achieve your own personal financial goals whether it be through exploring multiple streams of income, sound money management, finding a new career or discovering how to capitalize and make money off your favorite hobby.  It is first and foremost a book of self-empowerment and provides that greatest commodity of all: knowledge.
