Fieber’s e-book is worth every penny of it’s ridiculously affordable price ($2.99, at the time of writing). It is smooth and easy reading, and in its relatively short length, he concisely lays out a simple (though not necessarily *easy*) plan for escaping the rat race in 5 years.
If you’re younger and have a lot of flexibility in your life, or if you’re just fed up with the rat race and willing to make some significant yet temporary sacrifices to free yourself in just five short years, this book lays out the path, saving you the trial-and-error of stumbling along the way. And even if you don’t feel up to a drastic change for the next few years, I’d still recommend grabbing a copy, intentionally dropping all judgment, and reading about a totally different way to attack the retirement problem. I guarantee, you will learn something interesting.
The beauty of the early retirement process is that it is customizable. There may be aspects of his plan that don’t seem doable in your situation, but if you stick with it, you’ll figure out creative solutions to make up the difference. If you’re blessed with a higher income than Fieber had to start, and can follow his steps to dramatically cut back expenses, you might get yourself to freedom in four years! Or, if you are in a situation with a lower income and a trickier-to-reduce expense line, it may take eight years… or twelve.. or even fifteen. But that’s still way better than forty, right??
Having all this information succinctly condensed into one simple, straightforward book is an invaluable resource. You can find more information on early retirement and many of my favorite links from Jason Fieber's blog curated here.

One of the brief and quick reads in the realm of early retirement, 5 Steps to Retire in 5 Years by Jason Fieber is a succinct guide on how to expedite the journey to retirement by basically enhancing one's retirement kitty and living on passive income, if possible by choosing to exercise the option of Geo-Arbitrage i.e, moving or migrating to a less developed country where the cost of living is invariably lower when compared to advanced countries.
For those early enthusiasts who are embarking on the FIRE expedition and are looking for a succinct, quick and easy read, this book is a good choice.

Motivate me!
Great book, really motives me to focus more on dividend growth stocks. I have a Roth IRA but I would have to wait until I am 59 1/2 years old to get that money.

It's one man's theory and he's very pushy with his ideas
