An investment expert shares methods that enabled him to retire in his 30s. With minimal jargon, Shipman presents the psychology and rules of a long-term investment system based on investing in stock market indexes that is less analytical (and also utilized for a smaller percentage of his capital) than the strategy he presented in The Next Big Investment Boom.
