review 1: I agreed with the overall concept of the book, but not some of the details. My major conflicts were that he included a whole chapter about exercising but only three sentences about growing your own food. He also seems to have a lot of confidence that he could also support children in his $10k a year plan, but he does not have children. I also do not have children, but I imagine they are a lot more complicated then he is making them out to be.All in all, a good read. I really liked how he went into the literal math of the lifestyle and communicated a perspective rather than a specific plan. I will be referring to this for inspiration in the future.
review 2: Unlike a lot of other financial independence related books which spend a fair amount of pages talking abo... moreut investment, this book is primarily about saving money, and doing it to an extreme. That does not sound sexy, I know, but the idea of having enough money and don't *have to* work does sound sexy as hell. That being said, this book is a little bit extreme as the title suggests. But it did make me reflect about my buying behaviour(like whether buying this iPad I'm currently typing on was a good idea), and made me decide to try second hand stuffs before ever considering buying new ones. That indeed saved me some money and enriched my experience in some way. A wise man once said, there are only two things a man really needs, a shelter and food, all the others, are what he wants. And that's absolutely right. Newest gadgets? Good for you, but do they actually make you a better person? More efficient? Happier in the long run? Cooler? Smarter? I guess probably not... They just make you poorer... LOLZ but my iPad is awesome :D less
