Mr. Money Mustache: Living a Good Life, Finding Identity & Purpose | MHFI 296

Doug chats with Pete Adeney, Mr. Money Mustache, about how to ensure a good life by tracking daily habits while comparing Cal Newport’s “The Good Life Algorithm” to Pete’s own Badassity-tracking system.  They discuss the concept of shifting identities after retirement, emphasize the importance of finding purpose beyond traditional work roles, and the value of nurturing friendships.  Pete also answers a few listener questions from the Mile High FI Facebook group.
