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.

Game changer
Love this book, a FIRE classic. The beginning is pretty dense but power through and the second half is clearer. Then go back and reread the whole thing after a while to get even more value. Not just a story of his own life but the theory and systems thinking to make your own plan

It’s Extreme
This book has a reputation for being, as the title suggests, extreme. It’s known online for being legendary in this regard.
That being said, it was a good read and there are excellent tidbits of wisdom. For example, growing your own vegetables. At first, I thought this was ridiculous, until I did a bit more digging and discovered micro greens can be grown in as little as a week. Brilliant! I took this up myself and we now have a perfect addition for all sorts of meals.
All in all, the book is interesting, and the audio performance is good. I recommend!

The title isn't really reflects the story
More of talking about minimalistic approach to life rather than practical early retirement strategy. Newbies to early retirement may enjoy, but seasoned folks would be bored...
