If you enjoy the blog, also consider the book which is much better organized and more complete. You can read the first chapter for free or see the reviews (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V). Subscribe to the blog via google or RSS. See updates and links on the facebook page, join the forums, look for tactics on the ERE wiki, and calculate how much you need to retire.
First, the new site for Early Retirement Extreme is
http://www.earlyretirementextreme.com/
Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds if you need to. I hope I don’t lose anyone in the transition!
Second, I would like to thank my readers for the positive comments. Knowing that some my blog entries are appreciated is very encouraging and makes me want to keep on writing. I figure if I can inspire just one person to do what I did, it will have been worthwhile. Of course, if I can inspire two persons, who in turn inspires two others, we will have a chain reaction. Regardless, it will be very interesting to see what eventually obtains from these writings.
I began this blog a whole 3 weeks ago with the goal of filling a niche of personal finance. Whereas there is much focus on getting out of debt (in N easy steps) or becoming rich (preferably quick), there is less focus on quitting the rat race, adapting to simpler lifestyles, and letting your money work for you. Since there are a few of us out here for whom the latter makes eminent sense, I will continue writing on alternative ways of thinking about money, how to “produce” a solution rather than “consume” it (i.e. buy it), and various tips and tricks that save money and time.
Hopefully, I will finish setting up this new site soon so we can get back to the regular schedule.
