Simple investment strategies to recapture your time and foster financial independence

Concise and practical, Invest Like A Couch Potato is an invaluable guide to personal finance and freedom covering a wide range of subjects, from the basic principles of accumulating wealth to developing a mindset free from the pervasive influence of financial propaganda. Written by author Scott Burns, one of the most prolific and insightful personal finance and investing writers in the country, this book does not try to make you the richest man or woman in the world in dollar terms but rather enables you to recapture your time on this planet—the ultimate currency we should be focused on.

Supported by hard data, additional resources through Scott’s website, and tools like the Couch Potato portfolio cookbook, this book explores topics including:

• Investment Strategies: ETFs, low-cost compounding, and the simplicity of the Couch Potato portfolio. (If you can fog a mirror, you can do it!)
• Reports and Rewards: Retirement cash balances, accumulation differences, and the simplicity of superior financial management.
• Moneyporn: The seductive yet misleading aspects of financial media and temporary heroes in finance.
• The Big Kahuna: Shelter, borrowing, and health as critical components of financial planning and wellbeing in all dimensions.

Invest Like a Couch Potato is the perfect guide for readers seeking to take control of their financial destiny by simplifying investment strategies and fostering a resilient, independent mindset.
