So let’s say you were persuaded by my argument. Let’s say you’re a Mustachian who wants to spread his/her wings and play the miles game.

It can all be a bit overwhelming, I think. So many moving parts. So antithetical to conventional wisdom. So hard to take that first step.

My way of dealing with this ambiguity at the start was just to jump in and learn by trial and error. But this approach was just a reflection of my own manic tendencies. And I do know that this approach would not be comfortable for everyone.

So I thought it would be useful to take a deep breath, take a couple of steps back, and look at the whole endeavor from a distance.

What I propose to do is to paint a rough sketch of the miles game at its most basic. And then to deconstruct every step and every tool at your disposal in a series of short blog posts.

This is going to take a while so stay tuned. But if you stick around and read these blog posts you should end up with a pretty granular understanding of how to go about playing the miles game my way.

Oh and I really love writing about investing and philosophy, so about every other blog post will be non-miles game related. Feel free to skip those if they’re not your cup of tea. (But who knows you may like them.)

In the coming weeks this is the terrain that we will cover.

So stay tuned… It’s about to get real!
