Jim's Review
🐛
Shen grew up poor in rural China, immigrated to Canada, became an engineer, and retired at 31 with a million-dollar portfolio. The book is half her story, half playbook. The math is the same as every FIRE book — high savings rate, index funds, 4% rule — but the framing is different. She comes from poverty and writes for people who can't inherit their way to wealth. The "Yield Shield" chapter on living off dividends during early retirement is more rigorous than what you'll find in most FIRE books. Four worms. The best modern FIRE book if Mr. Money Mustache feels too libertarian-bro for you.
