Through various online platforms, I’ve been fortunate enough to have been featured in mainstream media around the world over the years:
USA Today – “By keeping costs down, Fieber, who earns $50,000 a year, is saving 60% of his net income each year and has saved more than $100,000 in three years.”
Today – “Fieber has been working towards retirement since he had an “epiphany” while balancing his checkbook online. After adding up his savings and subtracting his student loan debt, he was broke.”
Mr. Money Mustache – “And from an early retirement perspective, retiring based on a diversified stream of dividends, rather than a fluctuating set of share prices, leads to a much less volatile financial life.”
Dividend Monk – “So for this issue, I’ve interviewed Jason Fieber, who is putting dividend growth investing to work with the goal of achieving financial freedom by age 40.”
Money Plan SOS – “His goal is to work hard, invest most of his income, and build a portfolio that will provide him with an income stream that will support him when he is 40.”
CNBC – “But some young workers are going even further, calling the idea of waiting until age 65 to retire as outdated as a lime-green cubicle.”
Yahoo! – “For extreme savers, living cheaply is less of a sacrifice, and more a step toward simplicity and freedom.”
Shares – “US blogger Jason Fieber is a shining example of the potential rewards to be had from putting money into the market.”
Mint – “At 27, Jason Fieber realized that he was worth less as an adult than he was at birth. Setting out to change that resulted in a whole host of life changes, which he documents on his blog, Dividend Mantra.”
InfoBarrel – “For a middle class American with no inside connections on Wall Street, no family members waiting to hand a business empire off to him, and no string of multi-billion dollar holding companies as part of his starting assets, I’d say his quick rise to financial success is one of the stock investing success stories we should be emulating.”
Business Insider – “For Jason Fieber, of Mr. Free at 33, who retired in 2016 at 33, the biggest change after achieving financial independence and retiring early was psychological.”
NewRetirement – “Jason Fieber is a man with a goal: He wants to retire at 40. Just how he’s making that happen is the thrust of his site, Dividend Mantra. He spoke with us about making the goal and making it work.”
Lifehacker – “As personal finance blog Dividend Mantra explains, active income (that is, your usual salary) has a lot of associated costs that come with it. It costs your time and effort, sure. But you also pay taxes on your active income. You have to pay for fuel to get to your job, the home you’re tied to near your work, and plenty of other costs. Passive income doesn’t have any of those problems.”
Virgin Money Blog – “And what can we learn from Mr Fieber? If you’re happy to leave luxuries to everyone else and live simply, then you can save a lot more than you might think.”
Lifehacker – “As personal finance blog Dividend Mantra points out, having a job you hate can go one of two ways: either it can slowly suck you in to stagnation, or it can motivate you to try for something better.”
Business Insider – “Why I’m glad I had a job I hated.”
Brett Dev – “Jason is a real rags-to-riches story…”
Invest It In – “Jason was able to figure out a way to beat the system by achieving financial freedom and retiring from his day job at a car dealership at the very young age of 33.”
