A Follow Up to the Barefoot Investor Book?
Dear Barefoot,
I have read your original book four times, well, the audio book that is. It was excellent and I attribute it to my strong financial position today. But what now? We recently have moved into free housing provided by our work and are earning collectively $400,000 a year now - we have all our buckets set up, we have $80,000 in savings, $30,000 in index funds and our is super set up for success. We even called a financial advisor to get specific advice, but he was more about borrowing and he recommended we read the Barefoot Investor (I’m glad it was a free appointment!). So again I ask, what now? Is there a book 2.0 for those who followed your advice and are now reaping the rewards?

Hi Clint,
First up, well done for sitting through my audiobook four times: that thing goes for like 6 and a half hours!
You’ll be hearing my voice in your sleep!
It’s a timely question you ask, because I’ve just finished writing a companion to the Barefoot Investor. It’s called:
Beyond Barefoot: The Next Chapter.
I wrote it to mark the 10-year anniversary of sitting down with my wife at the Romsey Pub and sketching out the Barefoot buckets with Liz. It’s written especially for Barefooters, and there are three brand new Barefoot date nights, and a brand-new bucket as well.
However, I won’t be selling it in bookstores.
Instead, I plan to give it away as a free bonus for people who pre-order my new book. If you’re interested you should ensure you open the email I send you next week, because this is the only place it’ll be available, and only for that week!
Please forward this email to a few of your mates so they don’t miss out!
Scott.
