You expect to hate anyone who could retire at 30. But it’s awfully hard to dislike Mr. Money Mustache.
I recently contacted Mr. Mustache – the nom de web of an expat 40-year-old Canadian engineer named Pete – to find out more about his take on financial freedom.
It’s a take that’s fascinated me since I stumbled on his website a year ago. Mr. Money Mustache (mrmoneymustache.com) is filled with practical advice for middle-class people about how to save money and get off the paycheque-to-paycheque roller coaster.
Penny-pinching tips are nothing new, of course, but the site offers something far more valuable – hope. In contrast to the horde of financial experts who warn of retirement doom ahead, Pete (who declines to divulge his last name) insists that an early departure from work is eminently practical if we just rein in our consumer demons.
