So the book is more than just "live for the day", although that is an important component.

The idea is, keep your job, your 401K, and get the fk out of the office where you are dying a "slow death of mediocraty". Keep your job, and do something else with the remaining hours you're not wasting.

FWIW, I'm already half-way there: I work from a home office, and I consider myself lucky to have that freedom. I've worked in the cubicle farm, and I can promise you it takes a fraction of 40 hours to do the average corporate job, once you're good at it. (We waste a lot of our lives in worthless meetings, etc.)

But I want more money, so now what? Go back to the office (makes me want to put a gun to my head) and climb the ladder, or do something else with my "free" time?
