Is anyone interested in seeing more posts here? If so, what kind of content would you like to see?

My goal here is to encourage a bit more engagement to encourage more people to improve their financial situation. Here are some options that I think I could contribute:

  • relatively regular, blog-style posts going over some aspect of FIRE - "simulation Saturday/Sunday" or something; community encouraged to provide their own
  • news articles with poor/mainstream financial advice - gives the community a chance to offer alternative perspectives, so may be more engaging
  • "back to basics" series - post links or generate OC to discuss the fundamentals of FIRE - savings rate, withdrawal strategies, etc

Or I could not bother. It seems a lot of the popular FIRE blogs are getting much less attention now, probably because they're retired and stopped caring about the blog, but mainstream media seems to be taking this as "FIRE is dead because it doesn't work."

Anyway, thoughts?

More content is (almost) always better. ๐Ÿ˜œ

I think you're doing great encouraging engagement. Keep it up. Fire is a hard topic to drive engagement because it's so personal to everyone and everyone's lives are so different. Back to basic's could bring in people unfamiliar with fire.
