Optimal Living Daily: Reading you the best content on personal development, productivity, and minimalism. Episode 36: The Shockingly Simple Math Behind Early Retirement by Mister Money Mustache of MrMoneyMustache.com (How to Retire Earlier). Mr. Money Mustache is a thirty-something retiree who now writes about how we can all live a frugal, yet awesome, life of leisure.
