About this item

Two million dollars.

That's how much money anyone under age 40 will need to accumulate to retire. That often means working 40-hour-weeks and penny-pinching your whole life. How else could you save a cool $2 mil?

Finance guru, former financial advisor, and Amazon best-selling author of Money Honey, Rachel Richards has one goal in mind: teaching you everything you need to know to become financially free earlier than you ever thought possible. At age 27, Rachel quit her job and retired, living off $10,000+ per month in passive income streams. Let her show you how to do it at any age - it's never too late.

What is passive income? Passive income is earned with little to no ongoing work. It's no get-rich-quick scheme, but once your passive income exceeds your expenses, you are set for life.

In a refreshingly realistic how-to guide, Rachel serves up 28 tried and true passive income stream models, helping you to:

  • Achieve "Financial Independence, Retire Early" without penny-pinching
  • Create consistent, long-term residual income (the non-multi-level-marketing way), so you can live life on your terms
  • Have the flexibility to work when, where, and if you want
  • Say "goodbye" to your 9-5, and create a life you totally love
  • Eliminate your money stresses and fears

Rachel supplements boatloads of research and personal expertise by interviewing well-known experts! You'll hear directly from big names such as Hal Elrod, Bobby Hoyt, David Osborn, Honorée Corder, and more!

  • Hal Elrod is the internationally best-selling author of The Miracle Morning Series, which has been translated into 37 languages and has impacted over 2,000,000 people's lives!
  • Bobby Hoyt is a former high school band director and the founder of Millennial Money Man. He now makes six figures per month from his blog, online courses, and recurring revenue!
  • David Osborn is a multi-millionaire real estate mogul who started out broke and unemployed at age 26, only to become one of the most successful real estate franchise owners in the world!
  • Honorée Corder has written over 50 books. She teaches the "You Must Write a Book Live Coaching Course" and is an executive book coach!
  • Doug Skipworth is the co-founder and principal broker at Crestcore Realty, which manages 2,500 properties in Tennessee. He personally owns hundreds of rentals!
  • Thom Shepherd is a CMA of Texas Songwriter of the Year and has written five number one singles!

If you regularly feel the "Sunday Scaries" or always dread getting up for work in the morning, this audiobook is for you. This audiobook is for the college student already dreading the 9-5 life that waits him upon graduating; the couple who would rather spend their time doing what they want, instead of slaving away for their employers every day; and the single parent who is barely scraping by.

Regardless of your why, passive income could be your how.

Join the thousands of people who have already found success with these strategies. Applicable in 2019, 2020, and beyond, Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement is the gift that keeps on giving. Get it for yourself, for a Christmas gift, or to jumpstart a New Year's Resolution.

This book is packed full of useful information for it’s length. I found it very easy to read and the author explains this in ways that make sense to non-financially educated me. I highly recommend the book to anyone looking for options or ideas for how to get out of “the daily grind” work life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Earn passive income so early retirement is possible
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2021
Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement contains 28 great ideas (Rachel Richards, the author, counted them) to achieve retirement early. In the past, the traditional method of saving and investing in savings accounts, stocks, and bonds, was the main way to generate passive income, but she shows how that will never work 100% in today’s worlds. With today’s ultra-low interest rates, one would have to save about $2 million to generate enough passive income to retire. That is beyond the reach for most ordinary mortals. With passive income, Richards means income flows that in time will exceed monthly expenses, which means at that point true retirement is possible. She stresses often that passive income doesn’t mean no work to maintain these income flows, but in time they can become low maintenance/high income sources. She presents a load of ideas, urging the reader to pick a handful to pursue on the road to financial independence. She doesn’t claim expertise on any single method, but she isn’t afraid to try her hand at those which interest her most, and she has turned that interest to great success for her and her husband, so she urges the reader to consider taking similar bold steps. She also provides a lot of resources for the reader to consider in expanding their knowledge even further after she has piqued our interest in the 28 methods. I’m looking forward to testing her some of her ideas as I further my own flow of passive income toward aggressive retirement.

5.0 out of 5 stars This has become my Go-TO Book!!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020
I started searching on YOUTUBE for ways to create passive income. Needless to say there is a lot of content out there on this subject. I wanted a book to help me and use as a guide without having to watch a ton of videos. I searched on Amazon and came across this amazing book. I don't typically read a ton of books but I found this to be very interesting. This book isn't just for millennials. I am 45 (Gen X) and found this to be very helpful. There are a lot of gold nuggets in this book. If you are looking to take action then this book is a great start. I love the flow of the book and how things are set up. She keeps the book fun, hip and cool. With the information, I was able to quickly decide what I wanted to do and things I wanted to eliminate. I have already reached out to a few of the individuals mentioned in the book. And these people are REAL and willing to help me with my journey to creating passive income. So not only does this book have great content, Rachel included mentors that could help you!!!Someone mentioned in the comment section that Rachel doesn't mention the RISK. She does mention that this book could have been longer but decided to keep it simple. If you are serious about creating passive income then you are going to have to do some extensive research and budgeting in order to be successful. So depending on what business model you decide on, you have to factor in time, budget, logistics and risk. This book is a perfect guide and start. It has become my "GO-TO" book. Thanks Rach!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super approachable, not boring, and surprisingly effective — if you're ready for a kick in the butt

Rachel's 'Money Honey' really helped spur me on to better savings (I paid off all my student loans, partly in thanks to her kick in the butt). That one was easy.

This one...means business. Don't get me wrong, it's a great book, it might be legit changing my life, but it will make you feel all the things. WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE is one example. WHY CANT I MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS RIGHT NOW, is another example. HOW DO I GO BUY 18 HOUSES IN THE NEXT 12 MINUTES? WHY AM I NOT A CREATIVE GENIUS? That kind of thing. The mood swings are real, at least for me. She makes it sound so easy, I get a bit mad at myself. Jacq, you don't need to go buy 18 houses. You don't need to be a creative genius. You are fully equipped with the tools to make a passive income. So why haven't I BEEN doing this??

But...I'm telling myself this is all a good thing, because you know what? I've started my first passive income stream. (This has been a long-time dream of mine far before this book, but I didn't know what to do). I didn't realize, until reading this, how many options I had. Now it feels like the power is in my hands, which is both scary and daunting and "ohmigod" but also totally freeing and liberating and "I feel such a sense of potential." I hate that this woman had this answer this whole time—that all these people did—and I'm just now catching on. Gah. In a sense, it feels like waking up.

So, in short, buy the damn book. Be prepared for all the feels, and then do something about it.

Nicely written using conversational style. It has too many words to get to the point. Also tried the audio book which did not work well for learning and assimilating new information.
