> I have experience being both very high income and very low income.
See, I could do the same thing, but the blog would really boil down to a single post - "stop fucking around and just learn web dev." I really don't see a more accessible route to go low income to high income.
MMM does have this:

Web dev is great for a lot of people, perhaps not for everyone.
As for MMM is general, I personally love his style. I remember back in grad school, I stumbled upon his blog, I think from an HN comment. I was hooked. I read through years of blog posts in a few months. I probably factored heavily into my decision of not going for the PhD (stopped at MASc).
Although I still think he makes a lot of good points, my take on frugality and my personal finance goals are a bit more, um, nuanced these days. For anyone who'd be interested in a quick intro to his core ideas, I highly recommend this 28 min talk, it's a really fun watch:
