Our Review
The Millionaire Fastlane is the antidote to every "save $5 a day and retire rich at 65" book. MJ DeMarco argues (with math) that the traditional path of getting a degree, saving 10%, investing in index funds, and hoping compound interest works out is a terrible plan — he calls it the "slow lane." Instead, he presents the "fast lane": building businesses that create value, solve needs, and can scale beyond your personal time. The CENTS framework (Control, Entry, Need, Time, Scale) for evaluating business ideas is genuinely useful. This book will make you angry at mainstream financial advice, and that's exactly the point.
