Actors’ Guide to Financial Independence: A Reading List

The Actor’s Roadmap to Financial Independence: a curated finance-for-actors reading list designed to help performers manage irregular income, invest strategically, and work toward financial independence.

Here is a reading list for actors who want FI (financial independence) or F.I.R.E. (financial independence retire early). I have personally read all of these books, many of them, multiple times.

Each title is EASY to understand, FUN to read, and has ideas that will change your financial life for the BEST.

If you don’t like to read physical books, consider audiobooks. You can rent various book versions at your local library completely free. However, if you like to purchase books, I recommend buying these to have on hand to refer back to as life situations arise and to share ideas with friends.
