MMM makes a lot more sense if you view it as an environmentalist masquerading as a early retirement blogger. Take a recent post that starts "If you’re going to become rich, you need to either earn way more money than you spend, or spend way less money than you earn." The rest of the post focuses entirely on spending less.
Arguments like point 4 are sort of silly to me. Most of what he preaches he was doing well before he had a blog that could be monetized. Also, he seems to be pretty up front about commissions on the "MMM recommends" (though he could be more explicit about referral v non-referral links).
Is there an email you can be reached at? I'm looking to relocate to the Denver area. I came across LASP on other sites and was very interested in some of the positions. I'd love to get some insight on how you like working there.
added an email to my profile if you want to hit me up. The short version is that it's a fantastic place to work. great people, great energy, good benefits; I love it. I was doing software development in the telecom industry before moving here and the difference is night and day. so much less stress. I'm way happier as a result of switching workplaces
