MMMeetup with Mustachians and a new BENL meetup.

This Saturday, was an excellent day. Sitting in the sun, having a few drinks and talking to Mustachians… What more do you want?

On the MMM forum, there are only a few Belgians. When from Belgium, check out the thread and follow what happens.

I really like to meet like minded people. When you think about it, it is kinda weird. You talk to a stranger on the internet and then decide to meet in real life for a drink. When my kids would tell me this, Red flags all over the place! 🙂

A lot of topics were discussed, here is an anthology

• Geographical arbitrage in Europe and the 5 flags principle
• Design life for happiness
  • Go live close to work
  • Work less to have more time to be with the people you love
• Is a legally acceptable loop hole ethically ok?
• Sabbaticals for more life joy
• Investing
• Car sharing

It is amazing how many ideas there are out there and how an idea from one person can inspire you to try something new.

My advice: go out and meet other people in the FIRE community

There is a new BENL meetup planned on June 17. This is done together with the fine Mr. Cheesy Finance.

This time, we plan to meet in Amsterdam/Utrecht area. We have our eye on a nice meeting room that can hold 35 persons. This is what we have in mind

• Meet around 10:00 for the early birds. Some meet and greet and then a speed dating so that you get to know more people. Come prepared: have a few lines about yourselves (who are you, what is your ideal life, what are your struggles, where/how do you invest, what do you want to learn)
• Lunch time: bring your own lunch. There will be water/soft drinks
• Afternoon sessions
  • presentations by participants
  • Group discussion
• Dinner
  • Here we consider a buffet. We all bring some home made food and desserts.
• Closing drinks

The whole agenda is flexible, you can come and go when you want. There will be a small contribution (10€ we estimate) to cover for the rent of the room and the drinks we provide.

 

Interested to join? Want to present a topic or have an idea for a group discussion? Let us a comment. We look forward to meet you all again.
