Chris Reining shares how cutting expenses, earning more, and investing a savings rate that climbed past 50% made him a millionaire at 35, and why actually walking away from his career was harder than reaching financial independence.

Quotes to ponder:
"But you can't frugal your way to financial freedom so I took my career and learned how to become more valuable because top performers earn more money."
"But I was more scared of finding myself at the end of my life having never done what I really wanted to do."
"You can't rely on pure discipline to reach your goals because it eventually runs out."
