Alaska - Mustachians in the Last Frontier?
« on: January 01, 2014, 02:40:51 PM »
I'm currently living in Anchorage but get to travel around the state quite a bit. Is there anyone else on here from Alaska?  It would be fun to actually meet some like-minded folks.

Hey, another Alaskan!  I'm currently working and going to school in Anchorage.  I wonder how many other Alaskans are on the forum....

I figured there had to be someone else on there that was from Alaska. A couple of more and we can have ourselves a meet up.

Funny, I'm hoping to move to Washington/Oregon some day, :P.

Haha, that is quite funny.  I lived in Oregon until I was 11 and we moved up here.  Alaska is awesome in the summer but I'm not a huge fan of the winters.  I'm hoping to get into some winter activities in order to change that though.

We're in love with Alaska and admire it from afar watching Netflix reality shows featuring Alaska from our home in Florida. I guess the grass is always greener?

Fairbanks here.  Just got into MMM and making some changes this last fall.  Wife and I are excited to perhaps be FI and maybe RE by age 40.

Hi, all.  I just wanted to make sure that the Alaskan mustachians saw this post in the ADN about bicycling rules:

http://www.adn.com/2014/02/25/3345937/mark-mew-rules-of-the-road-for.html

Pleasantly, it's filled with common sense and respect for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.  :)

I live in Anchorage and would like to get a meetup together next weekend. Would anyone like to join me? I was thinking Saturday afternoon but am flexible on time and could also do a weekday after work if that's easier.

It's been a while since I've checked in on here. Now that the weather is nice I figured I'd see if anyone was interested in having a meet up? I'm in Anchorage but travel around the state quite a bit. If anyone living here or visiting  wants to get something together let me know!

I'm going to be pretty busy the next week or so, moving into our new house, but if you get a time for a group meetup planned out I will for sure try to make it!

Live in Texas, work on the North Slope (Prudhoe Bay).  There aren't many money 'staches here, but a fair amount of actual mustaches.  I've been pleasantly surprised to find a few workers here besides myself who max out their 401K and strive to save more than 50% of their income.  The norm is quite the opposite, which is unfortunate because with the rates generally very good (kind of makes up for -50° and lower winter temps)- I wish there were more people here with who were setting themselves up for financial freedom.

That's a little disappointing to hear, but for slopers I’m not surprised.

I am off work for a few weeks and would be down to coordinate a meet up in the Anchorage area if anyone is interested.

I met up with AlternatePriorities for a drink a few weeks back and met some other Alaskans at Camp Mustache, it would be good to get everyone together and have an Alaskan Mustache Meetup.

Feel free to post here or PM me if you are interested.

I'm a bit late replying to this post but hopefully you'll have another meetup when your schedule permits.

I'm moving back to Anchorage this August. It would be great to make some new friends when I do.

Downtown Anchorage mustachian couple.  Went no car for the first winter, then bought a used Prius to share between the two of us.  Looking for FIRE on the horizon!

West Anchorage here. I got hooked on MMM after a few articles & I'm reading from the first post. 

If you're reading this, then I'd love to meet up! The lobster dinner coffee is on me.
