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.

Thanks for including me in your round up
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!
thanks for the mention J!
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.

Yeah and LOVE that he just came out with a new book! Actually linking to it tomorrow ;)
