Summary

Mr. Money Mustache shares how to retire forever on a fixed chunk of money. This is part 2 of 2.   Episode 963: [Part 2] How to Retire Forever on a Fixed Chunk of Money by Mr. Money Mustache on Index Fund Investing 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.  The original post is located here: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2018/11/29/how-to-retire-forever-on-a-fixed-chunk-of-money/ Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
