Thought this was a nice article.  Of course substitute "cheapskate" with "mustachian" and it's better!

There's tons of 3M content in the book.  I've posted my full review here: http://wp.me/p2Nyqo-6u.

My Summary:
Good read! While nothing in the book by itself is earth-shattering, Jeff puts together FIRE topics in a personal and conversational tone by relating both personal experience and the experiences of some of his 'miser advisors'. Plus, Jeff lists some very specific methods to find a 'selfish employment' gig in retirement and save big bucks on groceries.

In true cheapskate fashion, Jeff advises you to borrow his book from a library- But I would recommend this book as an outright purchase.
