The blogosphere is abuzz with the New Yorker's article on Pete Adeney, a.k.a. Mr. Money Mustache.
WCI and I weighed in on the Bogleheads forum. MMM himself gave us his thoughts on the article and some explanations behind the somewhat unflattering portrayal of his persona and way of life in the MMM forum (Reply #82). There's a lively Reddit thread as well.
Personally, I enjoy his blog and many of the ideas set forth, or at least the principles behind them. He has a highly analytical mind and espouses concepts like living below your means, staying fit, and environmental stewardship, while poking fun at the "American way" of debt spending, consumerism, and wastefulness. His style is off-the-wall and sometimes profane, and some of his ideas are impractical for the vast majority of us, but he gets you to look at your own life and habits from a different angle.
WCI has met him and featured him in a post last summer, so we know how he feels about the man and his alter ego's ideas. What are your feelings. Besides... Who???
