Chris Meyer shares an excerpt from his book, "Life in 20 Lessons : What a Funeral Guy Discovered about Life, from Death" Episode 1402: An Excerpt From "Life in 20 Lessons : What a Funeral Guy Discovered about Life, from Death" by Chris Meyer If you could fast-forward your life to your deathbed and listen to your regrets (and joys), and then rewind your life and live it with that knowledge about living a life with no excuses, no misgivings, no looking back—would you do it? This book provides that knowledge. After fourteen years in the funeral business, Chris Meyer has listened to grieving families, their regrets and wishes, sadness and pain, for the dearly departed—expressing their “if onlys” and “what ifs.” From these painful graveside encounters, he learned lessons that kept repeating themselves. These are the (first) 20 life lessons: some simple, some profound, some irreverent—lessons about life, from death. This is not a story about dying. This is a story of living. This is…life in 20 lessons. Poignant. Funny. Filled with love.

Mr. Money Mustache shares what his thoughts on wedding costs are. Episode 1372: 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.
