Yeah, provocative subject header, but I hope you stopped to think more widely than just diving right into this....
...if you didn't, or even if you did, the specifics of my question (and not maybe the better questions around being on the Earth, or being on MMM vs. all the thousands of fora...) is still pretty meaty. Unless you're a vegetarian; then it's just weighty. Unless you're a small planet-arian; then...
...so, OK, all I'm wondering about is why you are hangin' around MMM's Forum vs. ERE's, E-R.org's, or Boglehead's?
I'll admit, I struggle to fit in here, although I'm close to the right demographic. E-R.org are older folks, but probably pretty close to my best fit. Bogleheads are older and more focused on Vanguard and draw-down vs. general life issues. ERE is just great to lurk, but I'm not at all ERE now that I have 2 kids and a more serious investment portfolio (not gonna' lie)....
So I keep ending up here, and I mostly enjoy it, because that's how MMM is - footloose and still makin' money anyway, fo sho, but it's like the end of the Ferris Bueller movie. "It's over, why are you still here? Go Home." And this forum is as close to home as it gets for me.
I wonder what Home is for Mustachians after FI, is this it for everybody? The flexibility of this place certainly makes it possible.
I'll start off with - home is still working at my job that I now enjoy, and taking whatever time I need to take to work on my relationship with my wife and kids. That's become my home - having the status quo of my reduced income, our budget, but more fun in the margins. And it will most likely lead to lots of fun in the future, but we have about 6 years of this (before college), so this forum is the best fit for me, methinks...
