667: The Next Bear Market: How Bad Could It Get by Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet shares his thoughts on how bad the next bear market could get.

Episode 667: The Next Bear Market: How Bad Could It Get by Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet (Early Retirement Planning)

Darrow Kirkpatrick is the founder of CanIRetireYet.com. He began serious investing in his mid-30s and retired at age 50. He's not a dot com millionaire and didn't become financially independent by flipping real estate or trading hot stocks. He did it the traditional way: hard work, frugality, prudent investing, and patience.

When it comes to personal finance, his top priorities are simplicity, reliability, and safety. Now his mission is to help others become financially independent as he did.

More recently, Chris Mamula has been managing the blog and he's a frequent writer on the site. Chris used principles of traditional retirement planning, combined with creative lifestyle design, to retire from a career as a physical therapist at age 41. After poor experiences with the financial industry early in his professional life, he educated himself on investing and tax planning. Now he draws on his experience to write about wealth building, DIY investing, financial planning, early retirement, and lifestyle design.

664: The Riches of the Urban Harvest by Mr. Money Mustache Sep 13, 2018

Show notes

Mr. Money Mustache shares his thoughts on the riches of the urban harvest.

Episode 664: The Riches of the Urban Harvest by Mr. Money Mustache (Frugal Living & Financially Independent & Early Retirement)

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.
