It's hard to believe, but it's been 4 years since I launched this website. Let's take a moment to reflect on this journey and look ahead to what's next.
Many of you have asked me: “Hey, Viktor, what’s up with couple #5 interview?” and now I can finally tell you - here it is :) so without further ado - couple #5: Ms.X and Liam.
Recently couple #9 reached out to me to make an interview together! I am extremely grateful to them, so please welcome interview with couple #9.
Couple #7 also kindly agreed to tell more about how they met each other. Thus, join me for the interview with Taylor (on behalf of Cody)!
We had 3 new couples formed recently. I was very curious to know more about them and couple #6 kindly agreed to give me an interview. Without further ado, welcome Will and Julia!
I've been thinking a lot lately about the future of the site. The main functionality has already been implemented, so there are no terribly pressing problems. As a result, it is not obvious what I should be doing. Here I define my "north star metric" as well as main goals and describe my plans on how to reach them.
I've been using the site myself for quite a long time (both for romantic offline and friendship online). It's been going well, so I decided to share various ways how you could improve your experience here.
It sounds pretty obvious that having a romantic relationship with a mustachian when you are interested in Financial Independence is a good idea. However, have you ever thought about all the advantages? Me neither, so here is my attempt at this.
If you are not yet convinced that having FIRE friends is amazing, here are my reasons why I believe so :)
...without revealing too much too soon.
The reason why people interested in FIRE don't have FIRE acquaintances is that the community is very dispersed and it is hard to talk about this topic with non-FIRE people. Let's see how one could try to get around this. I.e. how to signal that you are into FIRE to other FIRE people without looking weird to non-FIRE people.
The idea of "Mustachian Tinder" or Financial Independence dating website was on everyone's mind for a very long time. Let's see its history and how it was actually brought into reality.
While firedating.me can be described as "Mustachian Tinder", it is very different from Tinder. E.g. it stimulates people to actually interact with each other instead of just spending time on the site. Let's look at all such features and why the site is made this way.
