<!--Our hiking party is admittedly unique, chockablock with celebrity. Yet=
none of the infrequent hikers we encounter signal any interest. (Except at=
the end of the hike, when I?m charged with disposing of a box containing o=
ur eight WAG bags. A hiker from another group follows me to the dumpster an=
d says, ?Hey, give me McConaughey?s.? I say sure and give him mine.)
Then, after a while, there are the three women again, waiting for us on the=
tip of a peninsula, framed and protected by a hovering cottonwood tree. I =
fear celebrity has ended our trip in the natural world and we are now enter=
ing the world of autographs and selfies and giggles.=20
But I?m wrong.=20
One of the women walks past Matthew McConaughey, past Dan Buettner, and pas=
t Bill Weir. She walks up to Glen Van Peski and asks, ?Excuse me. Are you G=
-Squared??
Glen says yes, he is G-Squared. This hushes the three women. Their respect =
for him is visible, tangible, visceral.=20
Glen Van Peski is a celebrity. A celebrity in a way he wasn?t in the lobby =
of the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Here in the Paria River Canyon, this woman does =
not have stars in her eyes for the bestselling author, or the CNN correspon=
dent and anchor, or the Oscar-winning actor. She turns to Glen and says, ?I=
?ve hiked with Adventure Alan.?
This impresses Glen. He asks, ?Who are you??
The woman responds, ?I?m Wildflower.?
Glen is moved. Reverent. Wildflower. He knows what this means, though none =
of the rest of us do. They have a secret language, these virtuoso hikers. T=
hey?ve been places none of the rest of us will ever see, accomplished physi=
cal feats we can?t imagine. They have code names that I would come to under=
stand are their ?trail names,? referring to achievements or heroic personal=
ity traits. Trail names like Adventure Alan and Wildflower and G-Squared ar=
e earned and respected. Ones like Leaky D, not so much.=20
Wildflower, Glen explains, completed the Triple Crown.=20
Pacific Crest Trail. Appalachian Trail. The Continental Divide.=20
That?s 7,940 miles, with a vertical gain of more than 1 million feet, trave=
ling through 22 states using only human power on two legs. It?s an accompli=
shment that can be claimed by very few people in hiking history. At the end=
of 2020, the American Long Distance Hiking Association recognized only 482=
people who had accomplished this feat since 1994. That?s a lot of numbers.=
But there was no math involved in understanding and admiring Wildflower?s =
achievement. No one weighed her backpack or opened it to see how she organi=
zed and carried only the shit she could not live without for all those days=
and miles.=20
In this moment, watching Wildflower and G-Squared admire each other and the=
ir formidable accomplishments, I am awakened.=20
It?s not that nothing else matters.=20

It?s not just the gear purchases?it?s how we think about the future. Here?s=
the Outside guide to getting your financial $hit together, no selling out =
required.=20
When I was in my twenties, I did something very bad. I made about $290,000 =
disappear.=20
What that number represents is the majority of the six-figure salary and bo=
nuses, after taxes, that I earned over the five years I worked in financial=
services. When I say that I made it disappear, I don?t mean that I lost it=
day-trading shares of Pets.com. I frittered it away, gradually, methodical=
ly, paycheck by paycheck. I was living in San Francisco, and the details ar=
e fuzzy (in no small part because I was often drunk during those years), bu=
t I can tell you that there were $60 rounds of drinks purchased without a s=
econd thought and $25 cab rides to the bars. There were $1,500 ski-season c=
abin shares in Lake Tahoe and a $150-a-month membership at Equinox. There w=
ere multiple Starbucks lattes per day and $18 organic steak salads eaten at=
my desk. But these are just the flashes through the fog, clues to an unple=
asant memory I?ve blocked out. Because when I think too hard about the trut=
h, it hurts my head: I have no idea where all my money went.=20
I did eventually learn to curtail the spending. When I was 27, I quit my jo=
b to travel and ski-bum, and by that point I had managed to save a small su=
m that could float me for a year. I called it my fuck-you money, because if=
I was ever in a situation I didn?t like?stuck in a job or with a boyfriend=
I wanted to leave?I could say fuck you and go. Living in ski towns is how =
I learned the dirtbag lifestyle, and to my surprise I took to it naturally =
and with enthusiasm. My savings sat untouched, and I survived off the wages=
I made operating chairlifts in Queenstown, New Zealand, and serving barbec=
ue in Aspen, Colorado. I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfa=
st and free staff meals for lunch. I stopped drinking for a while, snowboar=
ded every day, and spent almost nothing. I was happy.=20

When I went back to work, I chose outdoor journalism, placing myself at the=
intersection of two industries that would never make me rich. I lived frug=
ally; my first job paid $42,000 a year. But as my salary grew, I ratcheted =
up my lifestyle to meet it. I never lived that extravagantly again, nor did=
I save much. My spending habits were an incongruent mishmash. I?d camp ins=
tead of pay for a hotel, and I wore the same puffy jacket forever, patching=
holes with duct tape. Yet I rarely thought twice about eating out or buyin=
g a new mountain bike every year.=20
My parents tried to talk to me about investing, but I?d roll my eyes and gr=
oan like a child. I didn?t want to be rich; I wanted to be happy. Talking a=
bout index funds felt beneath the enlightened alternative lifestyle I aspir=
ed to. I wasn?t interested in buying a house either, because a down payment=
would eat up all the fuck-you money, and then I wouldn?t be able to quit m=
y job to travel or freelance or ski again. So the money sat in a savings ac=
count for years, losing roughly 3 percent of its purchasing power annually.=
By the time I was 34, the single most valuable asset I owned was my carbon=
mountain bike. Fuck me.--->

<!--am bad with money. I?m also not abnormal. A 2017 survey by CareerBuil=
der found that 78 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, while a 2=
019 survey by Bankrate found that 60 percent of us couldn?t cover a $1,000 =
emergency.=20
A lot of my friends are like me. True, most never had a finance salary to s=
quander, but they?re also people who spent their youth playing in the mount=
ains or traveling and now find themselves in their late thirties or early f=
orties with not much more to their names than a garage full of gear and an =
all-wheel-drive beater parked on the street. Nothing wrong with that, excep=
t maybe the existential dread that comes with it: 77 percent of Americans s=
ay they worry about money, and 58 percent say that those worries control th=
eir lives, according to a study published by Capital One and the Decision L=
ab.=20
This was the stuff that haunted me at night, when there was no campfire rin=
ged with pals to distract me. The older I got, the more it popped up: The f=
act that my little sister bought a house before I did. The realization that=
I was sitting on the same amount of savings I had when I was 26. The time =
a coworker told me she was ?shook? to learn that I was 35?she could have sw=
orn I was no older than 27?and I wondered how much of that was because I lo=
oked youthful and how much because my lifestyle had remained frozen in time=
=20
My story doesn?t surprise Brad Klontz, a pioneer in the field of financial =
psychology. When I asked him why so many of us outdoorsy types are terrible=
with money, he confirmed my suspicions that at least part of it can be bla=
med on our YOLO spirit. That drive to chase bluebird days isn?t exactly com=
patible with sitting in front of a computer tabulating spreadsheets. ?You?r=
e not future oriented,? he says. ?To be good with money, you have to be a l=
ittle anxious about what comes next.?
In his research, Klontz has identified maladaptive habits that hurt our fin=
ancial well-being. The one that applies to me and my friends? Money avoidan=
ce. People with this trait think money is ?dirty, unenlightened, unspiritua=
l,? according to a 2012 study by Klontz and other researchers at Kansas Sta=
te University. Such people believe that there?s virtue in living without mo=
ney, that the rich are greedy and wealth corrupts. Think about the outdoors=
community?s idealization of the dirtbag lifestyle. While most of us aren?t=
Alexander Supertramp from Into the Wild, burning our savings before headin=
g for the Alaskan bush, we tend to choose experiences over things, enjoy th=
e challenges of minimalism and being surrounded by nature, and reject the i=
dea that money can buy happiness.=20
All this leads to a set of behaviors Klontz calls financial denial: simply =
avoiding thinking about money at all. You don?t look at your bank accounts.=
You don?t track what you spend or save. In his research, 36 percent of adu=
lts admit to being in some sort of denial about their financial difficultie=
s.=20
The irony, of course, is that this attitude sabotages our ability to attain=
what most of us actually want: freedom. Not just the freedom to ski on a W=
ednesday if it snows ten inches, but freedom to make life choices like chan=
ging careers or moving across the country.=20
A lot of rich people understand this. Many have gotten to where they are by=
using simple concepts such as buy and hold investing. They?re quietly secu=
ring themselves long-term independence while the rest of us toil for the Ma=
n, funneling our =ADsavings into brief breaks from the grind, all the while=
telling ourselves that we don?t care to be wealthy.=20
What if there was a better way? What if we could normalize using rich-peopl=
e tactics to continue living happily as if we were broke?--->=20
