Surf the Financial Wave: The advice to become financially independent and retire early I wish somebody had given me when I was 20 years old

This text was originally written for my teenage cousins who will soon leave compulsory education and embark into the adult world. The map they will have for this journey, however, will probably lack an important piece of information: That a financial wave to surf exists with which their working life doesn't need to be longer than 10 years. Had someone informed me about this when I was about to climb aboard on the same journey, my ride would not have been so bumpy and confused, although I haven't gone into the ditch like many other people.

I now want to share this enlightenment-writing with all young people out there to help them get the chance to start their adventure with a complete map. The present writing was created within a Swedish setting, but the idea of riding a financial wave is universal to people of all nationalities.

This is a thin little book that you'll finish in two hours. I start by introducing the idea of Surf the Wave (financial independence retire early), the benefits of this way of life and how to achieve it. Then I briefly tell my own story, how the discovery of Surf the Wave changed my life. Finally, I present some thoughts about consequences on a societal level if everybody would Surf the Wave.
