Set for Life: Use Property to Build Wealth, Create Freedom and Leave a Legacy · Personal Finance
Book summary
Use property to build wealth, create freedom, and leave a legacy that lasts. Lloyd Edge sat down with the club for a frank, practical conversation about Set for Life — strategy over luck, the numbers behind a portfolio, and how readers turn a plan on paper into financial freedom.
Second read for me, and it's a different book the second time. I loved how little it explains itself. Already lent my copy out twice.

Finished this one in two sittings and I'm still turning the last chapter over. There's a generosity in how the author treats even the awful characters. Five stars from me.

Second read for me, and it's a different book the second time. Whoever flagged the recurring water imagery — thank you, I can't unsee it now. Solid four stars, and a full five for the ending.

I had to pause halfway through and just sit with it. The prose does that trick where it's plain until suddenly it isn't. Still thinking about that final line.

I annotated so heavily the margins ran out. The pacing wobbles in the third quarter but the payoff earns it. Thanks to everyone who posted here — made the read twice as good.

The structure is the argument here, and I don't think I clocked that until the discussion. Structurally it reminded me of last spring's pick, but warmer. Already lent my copy out twice.

I came in skeptical and left completely won over. The pacing wobbles in the third quarter but the payoff earns it. Still thinking about that final line.

Read it out loud to my partner in the evenings — highly recommend that way. It's a quiet book with a very loud ending. Bumping the author's backlist to the top of my stack.

Read it out loud to my partner in the evenings — highly recommend that way. The dialogue is doing about four jobs at once. One of my favourites from the archive.

This is the pick that made me rejoin the club, honestly. Every scene has a door in it. Someone in chat pointed that out and I lost my mind. Still thinking about that final line.
