Questions… [time stamps below]

What have you changed your mind on?

Is Pete still Snowbirding to Arizona in the winters down to cul-de-sac? And was that an experiment or a permanent thing? What’d you learn from the experience?

At age 50 plus, what are you focusing on for your health and fitness besides biking and eating healthy?

What things are you working on these days that light you up?

What’s your current stance and practice on charitable giving?

MMM charitable links:

  • Notes on Giving Away my First $100,000
  • How to Give Money (and Get Happiness) More Easily
  • Do you wish you lived a less frugally when you were younger?

    What’s the biggest project that you’ve taken yourself and how did that go? And any advice for people that wanna do more repairs and improvement projects on their own?

    Asked During the Conversation

    Can you imagine working for someone else again? Or why not? (Doug to Pete)

    Are there any other electric cars that are worth considering? (This was part of Neil’s longer question about buying a Tesla.)
