Perfect for you if...

You're earning decent money but feel like you're working towards someone else's life, not your own.
You've read personal finance books but they feel hollow without a deeper 'why' behind the numbers.
You want to build wealth deliberately so you can have the freedom to spend time on what actually matters.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for aggressive investment strategies or get-rich-quick tactics.
You prefer pure memoir or storytelling without practical, actionable advice woven through.
You're already confident in your financial plan and aren't wrestling with questions about meaning and regret.

About this book

Dr. Jordan Grumet, host of the award-winning Earn & Invest podcast, draws on his experience as a hospice doctor to explore what end-of-life perspectives reveal about financial independence and living without regret. The book includes a foreword by Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life. Grumet uses observations from his dying patients to argue that financial independence provides the economic resources to live fully and avoid regret. Taking Stock offers guidance on managing finances and investing in yourself. The book covers three basic archetypes for building wealth and how to determine which applies to you, time-hacking techniques to change how you perceive time and add meaning to your moments, and strategies for investing in education, family, physical health, and mental health.
