I’m very curious about all you other Mustachians. Being a disciple of MMM means being a little, well, odd. But in a good way! We’re the ones bagging our lunch to work instead of going out to eat every day. We’re that dude who shows up on a bicycle. Our friends’ eyes pop out of their heads every time we say, “Let’s walk there instead of driving.” We change our own oil and mow our own lawns. We’d never, ever buy a $40,000 automobile.
I bet there are a lot of other surprising characteristics and similarities that a bunch of us share. I can glean some of this from reading posts, but wanted to get it all consolidated into a survey. Some of the things that make you different might be shared by a surprising number of the forum readers.
My survey question for this thread is: besides Mustachianism, what other things do you do, what other things are you into, and what other things do you avoid, that also make you stand out from the crowd of normalcy?
A few possible examples… Do we as a group weigh heavily towards having a lot of Survivalists? Doomsday Preppers? Urban Farmers? Hippies? Libertarians? Health Nuts? Paleos? Homesteaders? Ultramarathoners? Fruitarians? Do you avoid certain things, like plastics, sugars, artificial sweeteners, meat, non-organic food, fake food, fast food, bread or grains? Are you covered in tribal tattoos, facial hair, and piercings? Do you not own a TV, microwave, or cell phone? Have you spent a considerable amount of time thinking about what you would do in the event of a pandemic? Would you consider a 1-room cabin an ideal home?
And does your unique/weird/odd/bizzare personal trait help, or hinder, your Mustachian efforts to retire early?
