I was typing fun bucket the other day and had a shift key issue and noticed if a few letters were missing and I ended up very similar to “FU money.” That got me thinking about enjoying, maybe “going for it” a little (or more than a little) The typo and my mind shift made …Read More
So it turns out money nerds like hanging out with other money nerds. It’s like the cool club, but only if you know about it. I’ve only been to the small-scale gatherings and medium-scale gatherings of this type. I’ve never been to the granddaddy of FI gatherings. SMALL GATHERINGS are what I consider local meetups. …Read More
I’m still thinking about life. I’m thinking about chunks of time. I think decades seem to be a logical chunk of life-time even though planning 3, 5, 7-year chunks seems easier to plan for.

I can’t believe with all my healthy lifestyle activities and my double-dose vaccine barrier, that the little crown viruses attached themselves to me and broke through my defenses. I …Read More
Now shifting from CampFI SW in my last post, I noticed a post that I started in January 2020 after CampFI SE. It’s a must share for an opposite perspective. From 2020-01: I decided after CampFU (that was a typo, but actually kind of applicable) to drive across the Florida panhandle and explore the gulf …Read More
I’ve said it before, and I’ll write it again—hanging out with people who make you better is one of the best things you can do for yourself and those around you. I’ve been to five CampFI gatherings around the country and each one is very interesting and valuable to me. There is an abundance of …Read More
