I don't understand why he still is working if he started in his 20s and has multiple income streams and is a director somewhere.



His spending must be a lot higher than most here...

It seems like his goal is financial independence not necessarily retiring. It sounds like he really enjoys what he is doing.

It also sounds like he's not FI yet though. So he's probably been spending a bundle.

He says in that article that he spent a lot to become a partner with his firm. I'm sure that's not cheap. I guess it depends on what one's definition of a bundle is. To some on here, I'm sure he does.

The fellow in the Bloomberg story figured out this stuff some 10 years ago.  That's pretty impressive.  He went Mustachian long before the term was coined.

Being an older-vehicle owner myself, I love that he is a full partner in a financial advisory firm and yet drives a ten-year old car!

It definitely seems like he's after FI w/o thinking about RE. To each his own, but I doubt I'd put that much money into being a partner if it meant I'd have to stay partner longer.

MMM is not revolutionary in his ideas, it's in his delivery.
