Maybe this is why people (and the website) call it a cult. As long as you addictive-ly follow, and go full-mustache on his new homepage, then you are pulled in to regular commenting and posting. But, if you step away for a significant time, and I was without a 3G signal on my phone, let alone wi-fi, had to actually think for myself this summer :) Well, I've walked away, and when I came back, I found new threads (MMM sacred cows, 'my wife flipped out', etc.) that I never knew existed. Also, I had the free time to watch 'Before Midnight' with my wife which is dense with interesting discussion topics, including one we happened upon which is somewhat Mustachian: "Do you remember this friend of mine... we found out that he had leukemia and was probably going to die... he was relieved... "I have enough money to last the next 9 months" - He was able to enjoy everything about life, even being stuck in traffic, he would just sit and look at people, staring at their faces, just little things"...
We have found our family to be content with life in our own way, with my wife now returning to work and allowing me to retire whenever I want. I never thought my life would return to this pleasure of youth, but I am finally there now, and I don't really need to keep posting. Maybe I owe it to this community, but I just want to live in any and every direction that interests me.
I have more success finding my way without the internet. I think people are mostly trying to help and discuss, it will always be a push-pull between people that know what to say.
TL;DR I won't post as regularly here, although more power to the regulars and mods who do an excellent 'job' - I enjoy having access, and after the latest thread, becoming a lurker on the internet sounds ideal :)
