Payday comes. By Wednesday, it's gone.
You work hard. You earn decent money. And yet that knot in your stomach never really goes away.
The bills land before you've even had a chance to enjoy your pay. One unexpected expense, a car repair or a dentist visit, and you're back to juggling, worrying, and wondering how other people seem to manage. You tell yourself it'll be better after the next pay rise. Then the pay rise comes… and somehow you're still right on the edge.
It isn't how much you earn. It's how close you're living to the edge.
Most people are only ever one bad week away from financial stress. Earning more doesn't fix it, and neither does chasing a million dollars. Until you understand exactly where that pressure comes from, it follows you to every income level. Even plenty of high earners feel broke.
The Freedom Number shows you, in plain numbers, where that stress is really coming from, and how to put real distance between you and it.
The moment you work out your number, the fog lifts. You'll know exactly where you stand, exactly what "enough" means for you, and exactly what to do next. For many readers, the relief is instant, because you may discover you're far closer to financial freedom than you ever realised.
Financial freedom isn't a million dollars.
It's the amount it takes to comfortably fund the life you actually want.
Baz Peterson discovered this when he sold his internet business and found himself with $650,000 in the bank. He wasn't a millionaire, not even close, yet he felt completely free. No money stress. No alarm clock. No boss. That realisation became this book.
Inside, you'll discover:
- The 2X Formula: one simple calculation that tells you exactly how much you need to live free of money stress
- The 3 Pocket System: the easiest money-management method you'll ever use
- Why one type of spending causes nearly all your stress, while the other makes life worth living
- How to feel the freedom of the 2X lifestyle in just 3 weeks, before you earn an extra cent
- The Magic 5% Rule for instantly understanding what big money really means
- Your lifetime supply of cash: the financial end game, worked out to the dollar
- The cure for "millionairism", and why chasing a million can keep you from the freedom you really want
No millionaire fantasy. No one-size-fits-all target.
Your expenses. Your life. Your Freedom Number.
