I'd recommend this too. It's a financial blog by a married 38yo former software engineer. If you're into hacking your finances and living a less consumer driven lifestyle, I'd check it out.
I kind of see what you mean, but what more could I have written that wouldn't look like spam desperately trying not to look like spam? I wrote "no affiliation" to indicate it was not spam; since I am the only Robin Message on the internet, and I suspect the whole world, my word is my bond ;-)
I didn't mean spam, as in by bots, per se. What I've meant is, explain why "if you like this, you will love that" - are they similar, talk about the same things, etc... Some context. Otherwise I just have to rely on your word, your subjective opinion, and no arguments. I don't know if what you're saying is true, unless I actually click the link.
Btw, I wasn't commenting on MMM, just on the content of your post. I find MMM quite interesting too (thou I can't really learn much from it).
I've read a few of the MMM articles that have landed on HN before, and I think the original article was very reminiscent of the tone and style of MMM (but without the details and examples that MMM would have included).

Please explain why, otherwise it still looks like spam.
It does? MMM has tons of great articles on personal finance - you might disagree with him, but it's not spam.
