The thing is though, it's not about getting rich 
It's an interesting concept- but he says that the main currency is time and mobility, so if you're making 50,000 dolalrs a year and working a fourth of the time you would be normally, and somebody else is working fulltime and getting 100,000- you are richer in terms of relativity.
The point of the book isn't to make money so much as it is to remove the restrictions finances impose on you. What you do after that- he suggests- should be a pursuit of a dream job for instance, or learning (that's what he did- he speaks 9 languages and knows like every sport in the world). He really advocates making less and working less if it means fulfilling dreams and having experiences with people
Of course- not for everybody, but it's an empowering read nonetheless.
