Thanks, MonkeyJenga, for the suggestions. I couldn't find any upcoming NYC meetups on ERE when I checked last week, but there does seem to be a financial independence meetup in NYC on Monday, October 9, that I found via Reddit's FI board. Still, since I have a coaching commitment most Monday nights, a meetup on the weekend of September 29, give or take a week, would make more sense for me. ADK68, glad you're interested. Hope we can work something out
