Have you considered volunteering for a local community citizen advisory committee or citizen board of directors?
Seems to me our government (at all levels) needs a Mustachean viewpoint added to its deliberations.
The easiest to do (and the one in which one can see direct results in community quality of life) is at the local city or county level.
Many cities and states have volunteer citizen advisory committees or citizen boards of directors to provide direct citizen input into the various local government functions.
For example, I spent two years meeting (usually) once a month on my city's mass transit advisory committee. I spent another term on my county's board of directors for mental health services, again, meeting (usually) once a month.
Committees provide advice from citizens on the topic they are formed to cover. Boards of directors provide direct citizen governance over that agency's functions, such as contract approval, etc.
I'll use Longmont, CO as a representative city. Check out "
http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/boards/index.htm" for the City of Longmont and "

There are a host of interesting and important subjects that these citizen volunteers cover. Why not be one of them?
And, for those of you who have achieved financial independence, please consider running for office at the local or state level. Your way of thinking is exactly what we need in public debates.
