Mr. Money Mustache talks about how to save money by working out at home

Episode 1705: Get Rich With: Olympic Barbells by Mr. Money Mustache on Working Out at Home to Save Money

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.

Lauren Keys of Trip of a Lifestyle discusses the value in owning less, but traveling more

Episode 1699: Own Less; Travel More by Lauren Keys of Trip Of A Lifestyle on Minimalism & A Digital Nomad Life

Since graduating from college in 2012, Steven has developed a healthy obsession with personal finance. Although he has no formal training in the field, he’s taught himself a lot about saving and investing over the years. In addition to the normal stuff, he’s also come up with quite a few unusual ways to make extra money, from credit card hacking, to buying and selling stuff on eBay, to ridiculous ventures like taking advantage of loopholes at casinos.

After finding satisfaction in helping friends and family prepare for retirement, pay off their student loans, and navigate the confusing world of home buying, Steven wanted to share his thoughts on personal finance more publicly. His main motivation for blogging stems from a desire to help more people become financially free and change their lives for the better.
