I haven't been here in awhile and it's definitely slow compared to what it used to be like to open up forum pages.

Thanks! Banned some more IPs hitting the server.
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story of my pre-FI life pretty well and this MarketWatch article/video covers my post-FI life.

The forum has been pretty slow for me off and on over the last day or so. @arebelspy

Having over 2800 posts on this forum, asked ChatGPT: "Please describe the personality of JingaNation on the Mr Money Mustache forums."

Answer:
Quote
I couldn’t find any posts or references to a user named JingaNation in the Mr. Money Mustache forums—no comments, threads, or notable quotes came up in my search. It’s possible they’re a newer or less active member, or perhaps they post using a slightly different username.

Would you like me to try again using alternate spellings or search deeper into the forums? Maybe you could also tell me a bit about the thread you saw with JingaNation—that could help narrow things down!

My first thought was, maybe the scraper was blocked before it got to my profile, maybe it was scraping user profiles alphabetically.

Then I asked: "Please describe the personality of the user JingaNation on the Mr Money Mustache forums."

Answer:
Quote
The forum evidence shows that JingaNation (posting as “jinga nation”) is a highly active and well-regarded member of the MMM community—over 2,800 posts and a “Magnum Stache” status indicates real engagement and commitment

.

Here’s what their personality comes across as:
🔧 A Mentor & Encourager

In the “Epic FU money stories” thread, one reply read:

    “@jinga nation, that’s epic indeed! Glad you’re being a good mentor on your way out the door.”
    forum.mrmoneymustache.com+8forum.mrmoneymustache.com+8forum.mrmoneymustache.com+8

That shows jinga nation is supportive, celebrates others’ financial wins, and likely enjoys guiding newbies toward FI (“Mentor” vibes).
🧠 Knowledgeable and Curious

They’re not shy about diving into forum mechanics—starting threads like “Version upgrade request” and “How to update the chart?” in the FAQs section indicates they’re practical, detail‑oriented, and eager to improve the forum’s functionality

.
😄 Good-Humored & Sociable

Active in “Share Your Badassity” posts and quippy “Epic FU” threads, jinga nation comes across as someone who enjoys community camaraderie and has a light-hearted approach to financial topics

.
📍 Consistent & Engaged

Their high post count and near-daily contributions across years reflect dedication and consistency—someone deeply involved in the Mustachian lifestyle and eager to share that journey with others

.
In summary:

    Supportive Mentor: Praised for helping lead others along the path.

    Detail‑Driven: Offers practical improvements and troubleshooting on forum tools.

    Lighthearted: Balances financial seriousness with humor and community spirit.

    Engaged Long-Term: Active presence, invested in both financial and forum communities.

If you’d like, I can pull out a few representative quotes or dig into specific threads to give even more personality insights—just say the word!


So, yep, got scraped.
