Mr. Money Mustache (@mrmoneymustache -- Pete Adeney in real life)
grew up in Canada in a family of mostly eccentric musicians. He
worked in various tech companies before retiring at age 30. Pete,
his wife, and their now eleven-year-old son live near Boulder,
Colorado, and have not had real jobs since 2005. This begs the
question of "How?" In essence, they accomplished this early
retirement by optimizing all aspects of their lifestyle for
maximal fun at minimal expense, and by using basic index-fund
investing. Their average annual expenses total a mere $25-27,000,
and they do not feel in want of anything. Since 2005, all three
of them have explored a free-form life of interesting projects,
side-businesses, and adventures. In 2011, Pete started writing
the Mr. Money Mustache blog about his philosophy, which has grown
to reach about 23 million different people (and 300 million page
views) since its founding. It has become a worldwide cult
phenomenon, with a self-organizing community and incredible news
coverage. This episode explores his story, philosophies, and
routines. Without further ado, please enjoy my conversation with
the one and only Mr. Money Mustache, Pete Adeney. Show notes and
links for this episode can be found at
www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you
by Varidesk. You've probably heard of research concluding that
sitting all day is terrible for you ("sitting is the new smoking"
is a phrase I hear a lot). But standing all day isn't an option
for everyone, either. My assistant and I have been enjoying the
use of Varidesk, the middle ground that effortlessly converts
your standard desk to a standing desk (and back again) in
seconds. It comes fully assembled -- just take it out of the box,
put it on your desktop, and go. Models start at just $175; check
out Varidesk.com to see which one might be the right fit for you.
It even comes with a 30-day, hassle-free return policy if you
decide it's not your style. That's Varidesk.com. This podcast is
also brought to you by Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively
disruptive (in a good way) set-it-and-forget-it investing
service, led by technologists from places like Apple and
world-famous investors. It has exploded in popularity in the last
two years and now has more than $5 billion under management. In
fact, some of my good investor friends in Silicon Valley have
millions of their own money in Wealthfront. Why? Because you can
get services previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay
pennies on the dollar for them, and it's all through smarter
software instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams.
Check out wealthfront.com/tim, take their risk assessment quiz,
which only takes 2-5 minutes, and they'll show you -- for free --
exactly the portfolio they'd put you in. If you want to just take
their advice and do it yourself, you can. Or, as I would, you can
set it and forget it. Well worth a few minutes:
wealthfront.com/tim.
