Media

Our website’s founder, Jason Fieber, whose content makes up the majority of the website, has been featured in major media across the United States. In addition, fellow writers and well-known bloggers alike have interviewed him and shared his story. You can view some of these features below.

Dave Ramsey – “He is being deliberate with how he spends and saves his money…He is being intentional.”

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.”

The Conservative Income Investor – “But Jason writes the perfect blog that documents what the journey looks like when you clearly identify your dreams, and then put in the hard work each month to make them happen.”

Dividend Growth Investor – “He is a role model for many people who want to be able to live life on their own terms. I see him as a positive role model, whose story should be more widely followed than the other celebrity gossip people usually waste their time on.”

CNBC – “But some young workers are going even further, calling the idea of waiting until age 65 to retire as outdated as a lime-green cubicle.”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.”

Fund Reference – “Jason Fieber, a passionate investor and “frugalist,” writes about his journey to financial independence through consistent savings and smart investing.”

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.”

Radical Personal Finance – “Jason woke up financially at the age of 27 to realize that he was worth more as a baby than at the age of 27. From that starting point, he set out to gain financial independence and is on track to be financially independent at the age of 40.”

The College Investor – “He’s very transparent and explains why he does things, which is exciting to read. If you want to see someone holding themselves accountable to growing their portfolio, check him out.”

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.”

Dividend Reference – “Through a combination of hard work, frugal living, and sound dividend investing strategies, Jason has accumulated a meaningful nest egg in a relatively short period of time. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by assuming financial responsibility, Jason’s insights are an excellent first step.”

Islands Of Investing – “He’s one of the best examples I’ve come across of someone who really clearly sets out exactly why he’s buying a stock, and how it fits into his broader investing strategy.”

Solitude Canyon – “Jason flips the standard investing paradigm on its head – he doesn’t care one bit if his stocks go up or down, he’s strictly focused on receiving a reliable and growing stream of dividend checks that he can live off of one day.”

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.”

    Ha, thanks for adding my review of your site. Yours is the site I read quite often, with fresh insights on current stocks or dividend investing and financial independence. I really hope one day the DGI site gets large enough to be considered media.. But probably it will be a one-man show for a while 😉

    DGI,

    Thanks for all the support. It really means a lot, as yours was one of the few blogs out there on dividend growth investing when I first started.

    And I hear you on the one-man show. It’s time consuming to run a blog, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.

    Cheers!

    Just stumbled across your site, great stuff. Do you get taxed quite heavily on your dividend income? Congrats on your steps to financial freedom. I hope I can duplicate your steps.

    Gary,

    Glad you found the blog! 🙂

    I wrote an article a while back that explains dividend taxation (and my particular situation) pretty thoroughly:

    Hi Jason,

    I noticed your blog was mentioned in the latest issue of the Finnish investment magazine Arvopaperi. I don’t think there is an online version but there was a page about three interesting blogs of which one was Dividend Mantra.

    Jake,

    Isn’t that something???

    Thanks for sharing that. It’s wonderful to see this blog and its inspirational message reaching Finland like that. Makes me super proud!

    Best regards.
