About this audiobook
"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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thia book challenges one's worldview if you're not consumer conscious and would like to free yourself from consumerism in general. Don't expect the book to provide investment advice or the likes. The author encourages free thought, flexibility, and most of all, teaches you how to live efficiently enough to save more than 50% of your income. He leaves how to invest your money up to you, but gives some important pointers and guidance.
I am consumer conscious in my opinion, but feel there is still slack to further increase my savings rate beyond 50% after hearing some of Jacob's tactics on saving money.
Thank you Jacob!1 person found this helpful
