Mountains, Money, and Community of Longmont, Colorado | 071
In this episode of The Extreme Personal Finance Show, Chris sits down with Amy from Longmont, Colorado—the so-called FIRE Mecca made famous by Mr. Money Mustache. Amy shares her story of moving from Michigan to Longmont, and how this vibrant community has become a hub for financial independence seekers.
We dive into what makes Longmont special—Mustache HQ, the tight-knit FI network, outdoor adventures, and how community supercharges the journey to financial independence.
Amy also reveals her new project with Mark Trautman (Mark’s Money Mind), creating “Mountains and Money,” a retreat designed to teach college-aged kids the power of FI and community.
Whether you’re chasing FIRE, looking for your financial tribe, or just curious about why Longmont is drawing money rebels from across the country, this episode delivers inspiration, laughs, and actionable insight.
