| Mr. Money Mustache on The Shockingly Simple Secret to Happiness (and maybe it’s not so simple) | MHFI 143 | 10 Jan 2023 | 01:49:22 | |
Doug and Carl interview friend, fellow Longmonster, and FIRE legend Mr. Money Mustache (aka Pete Adeney).
When Tim Ferriss interviewed Pete, they ended by talking about Pete’s desire to own a local community gathering space. This is the jumping off point for the Mile High FI conversation.
But, they go a lot deeper too. No talk about index funds or the 4% Rule. That stuff has been covered.
Instead, this conversation is about happiness, journeys, and meaning.
Quick note: Do you enjoy Mile High FI? Do you hate it? Either way, supporting the show is a great idea! You will feel better about yourself. Also, Doug and Carl will be thankful to you forever. Maybe even longer.

If you like the show, you can help support us.
It costs money each month to produce the show. MHFI will always be out there for free, but if you can spare a few bucks a month, we can avoid ads altogether.
We want to try a donation model before ads. We prefer to stay AD-FREE!! So even if we earn less money with donations, that's okay.
We'd love to have monthly supporters, but there is an option for one-time donations. If you support monthly, you'll get access to bonus content, merch, hang out with Carl and Doug, and our undying appreciation.
