I love his blog because he not just tries to educate people about personal finance or money as an end to itself but about money with a purpose.
An attitude like his can almost be considered subversive today. If it wasn't for 'keeping up with the Joneses' the world could be a much better place and more people could live the lives they actually want to live.
- cushychicken 11y agoMoney (and it's alternate form, stuff) too often ends up being read like a scorecard, when it's really a means to an end. I love MMM for the exact same reason as you do - he gets that money is what lets you do things that you find enjoyable or rewarding, not something you flout around as a status symbol. Thank god MMM is a subversive, because his is one of the only revolutions I could see myself subscribing to.
