MMM's interview on The Disciplined Investor Podcast

[ROY2007]

I'm in the process of listening to it now so I can't comment on the quality, but thought I would share for those looking for a boost to get through the work day.

Thanks for posting Roy.  FYI for the rest of you, the interview starts at 19:20 if you want to skip the "what happened in the markets last week" talk.

.... and ends with the Disciplined Investor still not quite getting it, but entertaining all the same.

You're saying the pasta analogy didn't really work for you?  :)

It was entertaining though.

Fun conversation to listen to! On my download, the MMM interview started in the 16th minute.

Cool interview.

I'd never heard of the disciplined investor and likely won't ever seek him out again. He started to understand during his carbs/pasta analogy, but he is certainly not on board.

It was like trying to sell ice to an eskimo.

He was more interested in talking than listening.

Maybe if he would pick up the bike (or the paddle boat) once in awhile he could indulge in some carbs.

My thoughts exactly!

Good one!

The interviewer seemed genuinely interested in the ideas MMM presented at first, but then got into defensive mode as he attempted to explain away his "small" 2200 sq ft home and the need for not one - but a two - engine boat. He really got excited when he upgraded his future boat to TWO engines as if one engine was certainly not enough.

Oh well, have fun working your whole life for these luxuries, while the rest of us jump on our kayaks and spend the whole day out on the water while you're at work. :-)

One person's necessity is another's luxury. Even what we, in our frugal ways, see as a necessity would be a luxury to someone even further removed from consumerism that we each are individually. It's best not to judge, but accept your own wimpiness in the big scheme of things.
