Mr. Money Mustache (Pete Adeney in real life) was a thirtysomething retiree, who has now been writing about finance and life for over ten years. Now known as the “bossy older brother” of the FIRE movement, he remains committed to sharing the idea of mindful living as a path towards a more peaceful, happy, sustainable world for everyone. Pete graduated with a degree in computer engineering in the 1990s, worked in various tech companies before retiring at age 30, and hasn’t had a real job since 2005. His blog of 500+ articles is arguably the most widely known in the FIRE movement reaching over 30 million unique visitors since its founding. It has become a worldwide cult phenomenon, with a self-organizing community and incredible news coverage. Mr. Money Mustache has been featured and cited in various media outlets including Forbes, Business Insider, NPR, Market Watch, CBS News, and The Washington Post as well as others.
