We're told that if we follow the safe, secure path we will be financially free. But we won't. It's time to stop being slaves to our jobs, debt and the markets. It's time we stop giving away our freedom, now, for a chance of financial freedom, later.

• How to take back control of your investments with advanced stock, real estate and tax strategies.
• Why you shouldn't save for retirement, or for emergencies.

Packed with real-life stories and expert guidance, Freedom First has a message for everyone, from retirees discovering that after a lifetime of work their savings have only left them dependent on a volatile market, to millennials starting out in a world where many of the old securities are gone.
