What if a happier life was only a few simple choices away?

A successful entrepreneur living in Southern California, Scott Rieckens had built a "dream life": a happy marriage, a two-year-old daughter, a membership to a boat club, and a BMW in the driveway. But underneath the surface, Scott was creatively stifled, depressed, and overworked trying to help pay for his family's beach-town lifestyle. Then one day, Scott listened to a podcast interview that changed everything. Five months later, he had quit his job, convinced his family to leave their home, and cut their expenses in half. Follow Scott and his family as they devote everything to FIRE (financial independence retire early), a subculture obsessed with maximizing wealth and happiness. Filled with inspiring case studies and powerful advice, Playing with FIRE is one family's journey to acquire the one thing that money can't buy: a simpler — and happier — life.

      Documentary filmmaker Rieckens has built a career as a storyteller and bridging people with ideas, one of which is his latest project--the adoption of a plan for early retirement and extreme frugality. The serial entrepreneur explains how, by paring down wants to needs, he and his family were able to put away enough money to retire early and spend their time enjoying the truly meaningful and simple things in life, such as taking walks and bonding with friends. He introduces numerous investment charts for those considering this option and delves into both the positives and negatives of a frugal lifestyle and postponing gratification. VERDICT While Rieckens began his austere existence after a lifestyle of affluence, readers will benefit from the wisdom of saving today in the hope of a brighter tomorrow.
