One of the most important questions you can ask yourself is: "Why?" - Colin Wright Episode 677: Why This Way by Colin Wright of Exile Lifestyle (Developing Habits & Personal Growth). Colin Wright is a professional author and international speaker who co-founded a publishing company and travels full-time, moving to a new country every four months or so--that country determined by the votes of his readers! He also blogs. Colin's a minimalist in that he owns very few things and is careful in how he consumes. He tends to buy less, but invest in quality when he does, and trends toward the same in relationships, business endeavors, and just about everything else. He's left-handed, blue-eyed, scary good at Tetris, and can’t cook. The original posts are located here: http://exilelifestyle.com/why-this-way Please Rate & Review the Show!

Mr. Money Mustache shares what Stoicism is and how it can turn your life to solid gold. This is Part 2 of 2. Episode 672: What is Stoicism and How Can It Turn Your Life to Solid Gold - Part 2 by Mr. Money Mustache (Mindfulness & Happiness). 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.
