Happy Friday sexy budgeters! It’s going to be a lovely Summer weekend again :)  Do your best to soak it all in, and then come back to check out these super awesome blogs!  Lots of great stuff around the ‘nets this week, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did:

New Blog on my radar: Early Retirement Extreme - The title says it all :)  I’ve messaged Jacob here and there over the past cple months, but it wasn’t until the other day when I really dove into his site to see what it was about.  And WOW.  If you thought you were the king of frugal minimalism (just made that up), think again – that guy’s a pimp!  Find out how he’s learned to live off a few hundred a month here, and then check out this other great post of his: Frugality is not deprivation.

Favorite reads this week:

Although Jacob’s lifestyle is too “extreme” for me, I enjoy reading Early Retirement Extreme for another perspective.

He is pretty hardcore ;) What I like is that it gives you such a different viewpoint to consider – really opens up my eyes even if I can’t fathom half the stuff. Glad you enjoy it too!

I’m just waiting for Target to come up with a bank now! Or do they already have one? I know they have sexy credit cards…

I really enjoy Jacob’s blog ERE. He’s very blunt about what people really need to do to retire early. In a way it’s good that he’s so focused, because he’s a good example and inspiration of what to shoot for. However, I’m afraid it limits his popularity with the regular personal finance crowd, because of his extreme methods.
