MMMMM (Me Merrily Meeting Mr. Money Mustache)
Monday afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite bloggers, Mr Money Mustache. Along with blogger pal Erica from Northwest Edible Life, he hosted a little get-together here in Seattle for his readers. There was even an offer of free beer if you rode your bike, but unfortunately I couldn’t take advantage of it as I rode the scooter to get home in time to take the Foundry Boys to Cub Scouts.
It was really fun to see MMM and watch him dish out advice face-to-face. I didn’t hear it all but the most commonly repeated refrain of his was that everybody should be riding a bike. I wholeheartedly agree! As I told someone there Monday night, replacing most car commuting with bike rides is the 2nd biggest improvement to my quality of life (marrying Mrs Foundry is #1 of course).
I knew I was among my own kind when someone in a group asked how many people love making spreadsheets, and everyone proudly agreed ”I do!”
I got a warm feeling from being able to give some investing advice, based on the Gone Fishin’ In the Foundry portfolio.
But mostly it was great meeting others who share a passion for frugality, finances, and good beer. Hope to see you again next time!
Cool! I’d probably be scared to meet the big mustache himself!

I was a little nervous but he has a very disarming personality. I was expecting a grandiose motivational-speaker type, but he was down to earth.
You lucky duck. I hope to meet him at fincon this year.
Wish I could go to Fincon. Maybe they’ll host it in the Northwest at some point.
