"A required introductory text for anyone who is interested in achieving financial independence ... Jake has done an incredible job of distilling all the plans and strategies available into a simple, clear framework that you can use to design your ideal financial freedom plan." - Joshua Sheats, Radical Personal Finance Podcast

"Job Free should be on the required reading list for high school and college students.  It offers a concise, compelling blueprint of four different paths that all lead to a job-free life; something that most young people haven't even begun to contemplate.  The advice in Job Free is also highly relevant to mid-career and late-career employees seeking a way out of the servitude of working for someone else." - Root of Good
