About this listen
"A carefully-crafted combination of smart financial choices, simple living, and increased self-sufficiency brought me financial independence at 30 and allowed me to retire from my profession at 33. Early Retirement Extreme shows how I did it and how anyone can formulate their own plan for financial independence." (Jacob Lund Fisker, author)
In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of its publication and nearly 50,000 readers, Early Retirement Extreme is available as a freshly adapted, listener-friendly audiobook for the first time. If you're one of the 50,000, the audiobook is a perfect way to revisit the principles and framework of Early Retirement Extreme.
A classic text for advanced students of personal finance, each new listen will reveal new layers of insight as previous concepts click into place.
More than just a book on how to retire extremely early by spending less and earning more while investing in a few funds and hoping they go up in the long run. Written for those wanting a deep and detailed understanding of the strategies and building blocks required to design and live an interesting life independent of the winds of the economy. An information-dense study of economic resilience and how to thrive in an increasingly fragile job- and consumer-oriented world hitting its limits.
It teaches how a shift in focus from consuming to producing can help people out of the consumer trap and offers a path to achieving the freedom necessary to pursue interests other than working for a living. The principles in Early Retirement Extreme show how to break the financial chains that hold people back from doing what they truly want to do. The framework and principles revealed in the book has been used by many people over the last few years to accomplish a variety of goals. It provides people a means to achieve almost any goal, whether it’s debt-free living, extended travel, a sabbatical, a career change, time off to raise a child, a traditional retirement, or simply a desire for a more resilient and self-sufficient lifestyle. The book was initially written for people in their 20s and 30s, but its ideas aren’t limited to early retirees. Middle-aged people in the grips of consumerism can use the principles to take back control of their lives. People closer to retirement age who don’t feel adequately prepared can use it to set themselves up for a comfortable retirement in a relatively short period of time. Anyone worried about their financial future can use the principles in Early Retirement Extreme to make their future more secure.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good
Lovely read, especially for those with western consumerism philosophy. Gives a radically different way to live which for me particularly is more preferred way.

Amazing book, and slowly turning into my Bible!
I had read the book before, and listening to the audiobook made me pick up on more details. Will definitely listen to it again.
It gives me a good feeling when another person (the writer, Jacob) explains the same thoughts that I have had for years, but in more depth, and with an engineering approach.
If you're living a frugal life but people around keep on telling you that you're missing out on life because you're not spending all your time catching up with the rat-race, don't waste your time explaining your mindset to them, but instead read/listen to this book.

Terrible book
It is just rambling about concepts. Nothing practical that you use. Title is misleading there no plan

The worst Early Retirement book I've read
I've read all the FIRE books and for some reason never got around to this one until last week. But I wish I hadn't bothered. It starts out with endless ramblings about what the book is NOT about, and now that I'm several hours in I'm still none the wiser what the author's point is. No answers are given for how to retire early. Author just seems to moan about the state of the country for hundreds of pages. Don't expect any useful tips here (unless they are stacked at the end? I had to give up half way through).

Very bad book
Bad book if you are interesting in learning about investment strategies which will help you retire early. It is simply a book about frugality. This was a waste of my time.
