Early Retirement Extreme

Good book, reminded me a lot of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Author talks a lot about building assets which bring in passive income. However, his primary focus is my decreasing liabilities, or things that cost you money.

The author talks about becoming a “Renaissance Man”, and not paying experts to do things for you all the time. If you can't fix it yourself - ask yourself if it's really worth owning.

The author makes it a point in this book to talk about recycling, re-using, and sustainability. Many times these goals can be in line with the goals of saving money as well - such as making your own laundry detergent.

The author spends about the first half of the book talking about our modern day society and becoming a renaissance man. It's a good analysis, but a little heavy handed. Basically the first half of the book was about this.

Good book, primarily focusing on reducing debts/liabilities and footprint.
