Mr. Money Mustache shares what his thoughts on wedding costs.  Episode 513: Royal Wedding, Shloyal Fledding by Mr. Money Mustache on Saving Money on Weddings & Relationship Finances 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. The original post is located here: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/08/17/royal-wedding-shloyal-fledding/Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com & in The O.L.D.
