Mr Money Mustache on Longmont

The trio is joined by Pete Adeney who gives his perspective on Longmont, downtown noise, bicycling, thrift, and excessive car washing.  More about Pete from his Wikipedia pageAdeney retired from his job as a software engineer in 2005 at age 30 by spending only a small percentage of his annual salary and consistently investing the remainder, primarily in stock market index funds. Adeney lives in Longmont, Colorado, and contends that most middle-class individuals can and should spend less money and own fewer physical possessions. He argues that by doing this, they can live with increased financial freedom and happiness, reducing their environmental footprint in the process. He has described the typical middle-class lifestyle as "an exploding volcano of wastefulness," particularly citing the overuse of and overspending on new cars as an example.In the final moments of the show the gang discusses what's needed downtown  and discuss some suggestions from listener Nicholas.MentionsMr. Money MustacheMr. Money Mustache HQ Co-working spaceThanks to Andy Eppler for "Nothing but the Rain" as our IntroSend Off MusicThanks to David Cutter Music for "Float Away"
