Well this is a good question first of all for me because on the blog I’m sometimes known for being a numbers guy and tactics but really I don’t think about that at all because it’s so long ago. If you had to just wave your magic wand and you said, “Here’s an ideal day or the types of activities I do during the day,” I think people might be curious just what is that? What kind of stuff do you do when you wake up and say this is a good day? So, I want to start with just a question, a day to day question. I talk a lot on this YouTube channel about real estate investing, I talk about some of the tactical stuff and I’m going to have a link in the show description for people to check out some of my favorite articles from you on your blog on the tactical stuff but I’m more interested in asking you today about some of the, just life what you do when money’s not as much of an issue. We were hanging out with some friends at a house having a lot of fun and it got me thinking about post financial independence. Pete Adeney: It’s a pleasure, I think, we’ll see how the show comes out.Ĭhad Carson: Well, we’re here in Colorado. Money Mustache I’m going to call him Pete so thanks for coming to talk with me a little bit. Pete Adeney: Yeah, sometimes I’m not, right now I’m on vacation so I’m just Pete.Ĭhad Carson: So here on YouTube we’ll call Mr. I’m really excited to be here today with Pete, my friend Pete. If you’re new here be sure to hit that subscribe button so you don’t miss anything in the future. The interview isn’t long (less than 15 minutes), but in that time we got into the topics of life after financial independence, Pete’s ideal day, parenting, doing work with purpose, and tips for those aspiring to financial independence.Ĭhad Carson: Welcome everyone. He was nice enough to agree, and I’m excited to share it with you. So, when I had a chance to reconnect with Pete during another meetup of friends at a mountain house in Colorado, I asked if he’d take 10-15 minutes for an interview that I could share on my podcast and YouTube channel. His blog persona is larger than life, but the real Pete lived the same principles touted in the blog. I quickly developed a respect for Pete’s quirkiness, intelligence, and authenticity.
While hiking around the rim of a dormant volcano, we talked about life, city planning (a mutual side-hobby of ours), and real estate. I first met Pete at a meet-up in Ecuador called the Chautauqua. He also started sharing his philosophy of simple, happy, bicycle-filled living on his now wildly popular blog at. Money Mustache (aka Pete Adeney) is a 46-year-old father who retired at age 30 after he and his then-wife saved about $800,000.
