Getting started
This is the Early Retirement Extreme Wiki Page. It will teach that you could retire much sooner than most think. For example, if you live on 20-25% of your wage and invest the rest, you may retire in 5 or 6 years and have the option to never to work for money in your life ever again. This requires accumulating an investment account corresponding to 25-33 times your annual expenses in order to have a safe withdrawal rate of 3-4%. For most people this is most easily done by focusing on decreasing expenses rather than increasing income. Decreasing expenses is most effectively done by looking at largest expenses, namely housing, transportation, and food instead of focusing on hundreds of small frugality tweaks.
Take a look at http://earlyretirementextreme.com/. While the blog and the book are mainly about strategy, this wiki has space for tactics and specifics.
