I am game in early January. Too chilly for Duke gardens I think. Maybe some where in the southpoint area? It's more central for Durham, Chapel Hill and Apex/Cary people.

The Frontier also has happy hour on the 5th of January but that might be tough for me to make, so I'm hesitant to suggest it...

What about Saturday Jan 7th? We could do lunch? Harvest 18 is really good and it's right by Southpoint.  However may be a little pricy for Mustachian budgets... Thoughts?

Hello all,

Another Raleigh resident interested in talking FIRE with other mustachians.  Guessing there wasn't a meetup on 1/7.

Looking forward to hearing about the next one.

If y'all want to have a get together and are willing to travel down to Fayetteville, I'm willing to host the get together.

I'd be game! I'd love to see your rental empire 😀. Anyone else?

I would be a whole lot happier if my "empire" was more "rental" and less "fixer-upper costing me money".  :)

Put on some work clothes and you can get some first-hand experience at the kind of stuff people have to do to fix up a place...

Sure! It's been a while.  Make sure to join the NC Triangle on FIRE Facebook group too!

Hi Babybalrog,

I've been a Mustachian for a long time and live in Raleigh. 31 year old M.

Raleigh is my base but I teach English abroad, so therefore don't really have a perma-home so to speak. And I'm headed out to China in July for another year there.

However I'd like to socialize for the next two months while I'm here (I usually come back here in the summer) and am definitely down to meet people, say hello, and talk about money. Please keep me in the loop!

Looks like the NC facebook group is meeting:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/266574287039003/permalink/432341593795604/

May 20th. 2pm.  Umstead Park, but on the entrance off the 70.

Meet right in front of the Visitor Center. Take Sal's Branch trail (2.8 miles roundtrip) and have a picnic at the lake.

Now you know what I know. :)

Also a non-facebooker, so thanks for posting this.  The Raleigh Tour d'Coop is that same day (5/20) and we are a stop on the tour so won't be able to make it.

Is anyone up for a July meet up? I missed the most recent one because I've been so busy that I've not been on the forums. :(

7/8, 7/22, 7/29?

Hey, I just moved to the triangle area from California!  It looks like there's a group here that does meetups every once in a while.  Is anyone interested in doing another meet up at some point?

Welcome to NC!

What part of NC are you in?  I'm in Fayetteville.  A goodly number of folks are in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area.

This facebook group seems to get a bit more activity than this thread:

Everyone in the Triangle NC area... we are having a little shindig at my house on Oct 21 at noon.  I'm near the PNC arena.  Feel free to PM me if you  can come and I'll send you my address. 

Potluck style -- please bring something to share.  Also bring chairs if you have any lawn chairs sitting around, please.  I have enough seating for about 15.

See you then!

I would love to host a meet-up.  (Sorry, just saw the message!)


Sat or Sun (Nov 17/18) would work for me..

Anyone else?   There are some nice parks, several museums, a nice downtown area.  Plenty of ethnic restaurants if people don't want to bring something for a potluck.

Everyone, the FB group just put together a meet up for November 11. We'll be meeting at the Umstead State Park Visitors Center at 11 am for a hike. Bring a packed lunch to carry to the lake. It is about 1 miles each way. Moderate terrain. If we get rained out Nov 17 is the back up day.

SwordGuy. Sorry I didn't see your post. We wanted to get the hike in while the weather is still nice. I wouldn't mind an indoor meet up once it's cold.

@CanuckExpat the suggestion is almost a year old but we're in Wilmington and I think a Meetup in Feb. 2019 would be a blast. This is the first I've really ventured into the Meetup sections of the MMM forums but now that we're FIREd, meeting other Mustachians seems like a cool way to spend some of our free time!

Hey there,

It's good to see someone interested in a meetup in Wilmington. Waving at you! I see you are in Fayetteville. Bit of a drive.

Sorry, but Saturday the 15th is all stacked up with holiday stuff for me. How about postponing until after the holiday? Or did you mean Sunday, the 16th?

In the interim, maybe we can gather up a few more people that are in Eastern NC. I know they are hiding somewhere.

Good catch on the dates!  I suppose either would work, but there are fewer things open on Sundays.


There's a link to a Facebook group that's more active.  I can post it there, too.

But someone (not me) needs to pick a place and activity because I just don't know the area.

What do you think about starting a new Wilmington thread with the goal to set up a meetup in January?

And cast a net (well, we are near the ocean and fishing references)...

Hi all,

I'm moving to Durham with my wife this summer to start our new life of early retirement (32 years old!!!! Whoop!)

Would love to meet up with some other Mustacheans.

We've been living in Europe for the last 10 years and are hoping to keep up some of our no clownlike habits back in the USA.

All best,
Ben

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
