550: Reader Case Study: Student Loans or Saving for a Home by Mr. Money Mustache

Mr. Money Mustache takes on a reader's question about renting vs. buying and paying off student loans. Episode 550: Reader Case Study: Student Loans or Saving for a Home by Mr. Money Mustache (Buy a House or Pay Off Debt). Mr. Money Mustache is a thirty-something retiree who now writes about how we can all live a frugal, yet awesome, life of leisure.

Then they retired from real work way back in 2005 in order to start a family.
