If you are doing MR for status, OK I understand this just to top off what you need for status.

If you do it as a hobby because you don't have anything else to do with your time like family, sports, fun stuff, work, OK I understand some people do not have a personnal life.

If you are just trying to accumulate miles then I say stay home and buy the miles you need.
