Share your "significant other training" here.
What do I mean by that? I mean that after discovering MMM, some of you may have gotten all jazzed up only to realize that your significant other for life just isn't into this awesome way of living (not spending money). In fact, once you told them what you had planned, it was like a kick in the junk/ovaries to them.
My SO had even threatened to punch MMM if she ever met him.
Except a funny thing has happened slowly over the time that I've been executing the MMM plan: she's become happier. And it's not just the drugs I've been sneaking into her dinner (totally different story). She's realizing that Mustacianism is not the end of the world. She's realizing that everyone around us wears a mask propped up by unsustainable amounts of credit. And she realizes that wealth-building means having MORE money, not less.
She's not there yet, but she's started hanging up laundry instead of running the dryer almost every day and has reconsidered buying items because she knows we don't actually need them. She's even made the decision to hold off highlighting her hair (don't even ask how much that ridiculousness costs) because I tell her every day she looks so beautiful with her natural hair colour (she's suspicious of my motives, but she'll take the complements).
The key to making it work is being positive. If you show your SO the new possibilities through Mustachianism, it will work.
It's a slow process. It won't happen overnight. But I believe it is possible. Does anyone have any stories of showing the one you love that being mustachian doesn't involve a drastic shift in lifestyle and doesn't mean the end of the world?
