Even if you are a FI veteran - I recommend that you sign up for the email series... ...what can be better than having MMM whisper in your email inbox every Monday morning for the next 8.75 months? #FIRE #FI #ChooseFI #CoastFI
I have finally unleased the "MMM Boot Camp" email series (a selection of 35 of the best articles since 2011, in order, in the form of an automated Monday morning email). Scary but I finally did it! If interested, subscribe here under "bonus options" mrmoneymustache.ck.page/68f9…

This is the closest I've been to the US in over a year! I was up renewing my private pilot's license - the squiggly track is a series of steep turns...orange line is the Canada-US border!

...and investors will wonder whose money is going toward selling dollars for $0.70.... ...it's theirs! How unicorns are made, I guess...
Have you looked at the initial filing? I’m interested in shorting it, business model seems to be selling $1 in product for $0.70

Wisdom from @JamesClear "If you genuinely care about the goal, you’ll focus on the system." I wrote a blog series this time last year about the value of Habits and Systems in my own life: professorfire.com/2020-habit… May 2021 be a great year! After 2020, the bar is pretty low...

At some point, if you’re fortunate, you’ll hit a wall of truth and wonder what you’ve been doing with your life. At that point you’ll feel highly motivated to find out what frees you and helps you to be kinder and more loving, less affliction driven and confused. Pema Chödrön

Driving the same car for 15+ years has a major effect on the journey to FI! Not a big sacrifice for the benefits...! #CoastFI #FIRE

2012 Chevy #volt - bought new (on of the first in Canada) in 2011 - runs flawlessly 8 years later...best car I’ve ever owned. 45 mpg highway car when necessary, 0 gas most days for in-town driving. Will keep running for next 5+ years unless something goes sideways...
