Move over Dave Ramsey, Mr. Money Mustache does even better. Dave Ramsey tells you to pay cash for used cars but Mr. Money Mustache tells you to ride a bike and save lots more!
Plus his politics are a lot less rabid!
Here's one of his many bike-related articles, Get Rich with Bikes (http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/04/18/get-rich-with-bikes/)

The comments, and his restrained and encouraging responses, are even better. Thanks Mel!

Love it!!
So most of us live to work and to be able to own a car?? that's what it seems like when you get to his conclusion. Nearly $100K saving is worth living car free!
Great article! Loved his humor.

Well, as we know we do spend money differently with that savings windfall!
My calculations weren't totally off --similar to his: http://thirdwavecyclingblog.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/30-car-free-years-cycling-pumps-money-into-my-wallet/

I've been lurking on his blog forums for quite some time now. I'm always interested in frugal living discussions.

I'm actually reading it straight through from his first post. I'm almost to the end of 2011-- he started writing in April of 2011. Gosh he writes a lot! But I'm really enjoying it.
