Financial Samurai strikes me as sadistic. His post about Mr. Money Mustache's divorce is pretty horrible example of soulless SEO headings kicking a rival blogger when down https://www.financialsamurai.com/mmm-divorce/ https://www.financialsamurai.com/mmm-divorce/

  I have mixed feelings. It’s sadistic but too relevant to ignore. It’s an hit in the aircraft carrier of the FIRE poster child.

  I can see it both way. I never liked MMM types because they preach what I consider extreme frugality. As a core principle of my finances, I focus on the uncapped income side of the equation and practice what I consider modesty in my expenses. I have no desire to be flashy or flaunt the wealth I do have. But I’m sure as hell not living off the grid in the middle of nowhere because it cost 10% of a home in a metro area. Thing is, I’d never even consider it because my wife doesn’t want that, and it’s important for people to be fully aligned on that. I found the post you linked to overly verbose as these bloggers often are. They make lists and sections and go on tangents on what could be a 300-500 word essay. I think he could have excluded the backstory and just focused on how important it is that your partner be onboard the FIRE/extreme frugality lifestyle. So I think it’s poorly written and not an enjoyable article. However, it’s a pretty damn important message and difficult to talk about until someone prominent that is serving as a poster child for the FIRE niche like MMM goes through it publicly.

  ESH He's kicking someone else when they are down, but that seems to be petty revenge in retribution for perceived attacks.

  One of the most common reasons for divorce is finances so it seems relevant to draw attention to someone promoting a certain financial lifestyle.

  Wow, it takes a grade A piece of shit to speculate about someone’s divorce.

As others like Jason Calicanis have pointed out, it will hopefully be easier for the resilient startups to hire and retain talent. https://youtu.be/fU6QlvruLTw?t=607 https://youtu.be/fU6QlvruLTw?t=607
