Show notes

Kristin Wong liked the Minimalism documentary, but has a different take when it comes to money.

Episode 246: Minimalism vs. Earning More Money by Kristin Wong (Save Thousands & FIRE).

Kristin Wong of TheWildWong.com was laid off in 2013. She took on some freelancing gigs to earn extra cash while she searched for a new, full-time job and over time, her freelancing gigs increased. She started writing for sites that she loved reading and produced videos for new clients. Her side gigs began to bring in more income than any potential full-time jobs. She launched a blog all about frugal living and created The Wild Wong to share more about her career, her finances, and all the adventures in between.

243: Get Rich With: Moving to a Better Place - Part 2 by Mr. Money Mustache Feb 01, 2017

Show notes

Mr. Money Mustache shares how/why/when to move to a new place. This is Part 2 of 2.

Episode 243: Get Rich With: Moving to a Better Place - Part 2 by Mr. Money Mustache (Saving Money on Living Costs).

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.
