Mr. Money Mustache discusses the true cost of commuting. This is part 2 of 2.

Episode 1922: [Part 2] The True Cost of Commuting by Mr. Money Mustache on Calculating the Costs of Daily Travel and Gas Prices

Mr. Money Mustache is a thirty-something retiree who now writes about how we can all live a frugal, yet awesome, life of leisure.

He and his wife studied engineering and computer science in Canada, then worked in standard tech-industry cubicle jobs in various locations throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Then they retired from real work way back in 2005 in order to start a family. This was achieved not through luck or amazing skill, but simply by living a lifestyle about 50% less expensive than most of their peers and investing the surplus in very boring conservative Vanguard index funds and a rental house or two.

Julien and Kiersten Saunders of Rich and Regular share 9 things they would do if they won a million dollars

Episode 1918: 9 Things We Would Do if We Won a Million Dollars Tomorrow by Julien and Kiersten Saunders of Rich and Regular

Julien and Kiersten started rich & REGULAR in 2017 after their stint in real estate investing led them to discover the F.I.R.E movement. At that point, they'd listened to their friends complain about doing everything right, and still not really "feeling" happy with the financial progress they'd made. Their blog became a place where they not only shared in their frustrations, but offered solutions to a richer and happier life. They could not have imagined that just a few years later, they would sign a book deal with the world's largest publisher, Penguin Random House. But that's not all. Their blog has afforded them opportunities to work with incredible brands, world-class media and into the fast-paced world of digital entrepreneurship.
