The Money Mustache Community

I think its common knowledge that there are a few folks from CO on here. The author for one:) and Brave New Life. Anyone else out there from CO
-
I've heard from quite a few of us in emails, although it's a good question, how many of us are in the forum (less than 1% of regular visitors are signed up as forum posters). In fact, I have the privilege of going to lunch with a Longmont-based Mustachian only one hour from now!
Plus I had a meeting with another one last night about the new business he is starting.
Just like I said in today's article, the movement is everywhere :-)
-
I'm from Fort Collins. I've only been following the blog for a little while, but really enjoying it so far.
-
I'm a former Coloradoan who moved away 5 years ago, but will be moving back later this year. I think all the cool (and often free) outdoorsy stuff, reasonable cost of living and typically well educated population combine to make Colorado a good breeding ground for Mustachians. Plus, the ever present sunshine is bound to put people in a great mood, and people are more likely to make better decisions when they're thinking big, positive thoughts :)
-
We're moving from South Jersey to Colorado in 6 weeks. :) I love hearing the particulars about CO life from MMM and in the comments of the blog. It assures me that the life I'm used to here is also doable there. ;)
-
I live in Thornton.
-
I'm in Louisville.
-
Denver here.
-
We live in the Denver area too - but have known the mustache family for a while now.
-
Fort Collins for me! If it wasn't so far, I'd say we should get together for a beer; maybe someday. Mass mustachian camping trip?
-
Longmont for me.
-
Manitou Springs
-
South Denver here. Plenty of people in the Front Range... a brewery crawl wouldn't be too hard. Or MMM GABF shenanigans...
-
Broomfield
-
Straddling Thornton and Westminster here.
-
Thornton/Brighton
-
Louisville. Would definitely be interested in an occasional in-person meetup and Q&A session. Will also trade computer & web site help/expertise for handyman/home improvement help.
-
Live in Broomfield, housesitting in Boulder until mid-July
-
So, when is the BBQ?
-
I found this site about a month ago, and just finished reading thru all of the articles. Outstanding stuff here.
-
I am in Englewood.. Work at cherry creek north, across from the mall!!
-
I live in the Denver Tech Center. Ten minutes walk from work. :D

You and I must be close... I am by I-25 and Orchard near the Tommy Davis park

I'm pretty new to the area and don't have a car, so I don't get around too often. I know I'm only about 5-10 minutes from Cherry Creek Mall. I know I'm pretty close to the intersection of I-25 and 225.
-
All right ya'll, I am semi-retired effective August 10 and so I am throwing out there a possible meetup on August 10 or August 11 at Baker Street Pub in Boulder due to the awesome 2PM-9PM Happy Hour Specials. If you're interested, please reply.
-
Anybody in the East Denver/North Aurora area? I would love to start a regular get together.
-
South of Denver, DTC area. Colorado native.
-
Littleton during most days, rural WY the rest.
-
Louisville. Definitely interested in some in-person meetups at some point if there's enough local interest.
-
NW Denver here (Sunnyside). New to the blog but loving it.
-
Lafayette
-
Southwest Longmont.
Been reading for awhile and just signed up. Great blog and forum.
-
Waaaaay over in the quiet part of the state: Durango.
-
Denver greater metro
-
Grand Junction
-
I live in Englewood, near Belleview and Broadway.
I'm down for a mustache bike ride, who's in?
-
Checking in from Lakewood. I'm game for a bike ride road or mountain. Let's make it happen!
-
I live in NW Denver as well. Definitely interested in a group ride or something else! Glad to see CO represented. :)
-
dave1 and BoulderTC, I like to hit the front range for early morning, pre-work day rides. Any chance you want to do one this Friday morning?
-onemorebike
-
Onemore,
I could probably do something short and sweet like Green Mountain in the morning. I could meet up Friday morning assuming it stops raining and has a chance to dry. Were you thinking headlamp early or just predawn?
-
Littleton.
-
Longmont - SW side
How about the last Longmont Bike night of the season this Wednesday? Assuming it's a go in the flood aftermath. I hope everyone fared well.
-
I expect to be in Boulder the first week in November (11/4 - 11/7) and would like to meet fellow Mustachians. I don't know the area but I have a GPS so I could probably find an address. I'll be staying at the Millenium Harvest House (at my employer's expense), so the bar/restaurant there might be a reasonable place to get together. Let me know what you think.
-
Living in Denver - Five Points area. I just started reading this blog a few days ago and felt a hard slap in the face. Very excited to get saving!
-
I live a few miles north of the DTC. I've been living in south Denver for 6 years now.
-
Evergreen as well. I suspect there are a few of us up here.
-
Another one in Denver.
-
I'm in Denver - I check in on this blog now and then to keep me motivated.
-
I'm in Fort Collins.

Hi Y'all, I'm looking to move from Genesee / Golden area towards my new office off I25 & Colorado.
Just putting feelers out there, I'm looking for a place to rent come April/May. I need a house with a yard and a garage that's within a 10 mile radius of that intersection, though I much prefer to be North, South, or West. East is bad mkay?
I'm ok with living in the ghetto, but I need a yard for my 40 lb mixed breed doge and I need a garage for my race car. I'm a 32 male with impeccable rental history and references for the past 7 years (before that I was at my parents and my mom will talk your ear off so best not to call them).
If you have any leads please let me know! I'm willing to stretch outside the 10 mile radius if it's to the west.
-
Looking for Mustachian roommates near downtown!
My name is David. I'm 26 and I've been a reader of MMM for some time now and finally purchased my first little patch of real-estate just outside of Denver, CO in Edgewater. I'm looking for some people on the other end, on the renting end, who feel they would benefit from living with a Mustachian, taking advantage of our own little community, while respecting my house for what it is - a investment in my eventual retirement. In exchange, I'd offer a reasonably priced room ($500/month), within 5 miles of Union Station, in Denver CO, for a working professional who wants to save money to one day buy their own real estate and pursue their freedom. One thing I've learned from MMM is that our shared knowledge and teamwork gets us further than working alone. I'd like to have a few people who want to join my team, save their money, and gain some new friends and partners along the way.
Here's a link to the Craigslist ad. I have 4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms (and 2 kitchens!) and am currently showing it. I haven't found anyone who strikes me as truly Mustachian-minded, so I'm definitely holding it for the right person/people.
http://denver.craigslist.org/apa/4278215226.html
Thanks for reading!
David
-
I'm from Colorado! What you gonna do about it? :D
-
Hey!
We're mustachians that live in Aurora (225/Colfax)-- would love to meet up with any like-minded people if anyone is interested :)
-
This is a ways off, but I will be in Denver for a conference 9/25 - 9/28. I would have time on Saturday 9/27 for a meetup. I won't have a car but would happily use public transportation. (I also need to go to the main branch of the Denver Public Library that day, so as long as I can fit that in as well as an MMM meetup, I'll be happy.)
(I live in the southwestern part of the state; I'm not often in the Denver area.)
-
We are working our way towards Mustachianism and are in Fort Collins. Could possible drive down to Denver for a meetup depending on day/time.
-
I'm interested - I'm in Denver.
-
I will be in the Buckley Air Force Base area from Oct 2-7 and looking to browse the local area to see what cities could potential suit me when I achieve financial independence. I have heard through the grapevine that Longmont could potentially be something worth while to check out. If anyone is available to show me around, a free lunch could be headed your way.
Edit: My apologies, I will also have a rental car and will be driving to the various locations.
-
Might as well bump this as far as the longmont meetup that mmm just posed. I'm coming from Colorado Springs. If anybody wants to carpool, let me know and I'll see what I can come up with. Don't forget you have to register to RSVP.
-
Im pretty excited about the MMM meetup in Longmont (just signed up on event brite). Im coming from Denver, is anybody interested in car pooling from Denver to Longmont?
JordanRead, care to make a quick pit stop in Denver for a car pool up to Longmont?

Shouldn't be an issue. I have 3 seats and depending on if I get my sentra running or not, there might even be leg room. I'll let you know for sure by Thursday. I know there are a few people south of me, so I'm waiting to hear from them, just for efficiency's sake.
-
Drat. I can't make it. I will be in Breckenridge that weekend, playing hockey. Have fun, those of you who can go to the meetup!
-
I snagged one of the last tickets today - very happy to be going. I will be driving over from the Fort Collins/Loveland area if anyone wants to carpool.
-
First time posting...wanted to say thank you to MMM and family for hosting such a BADASS event on Saturday. My husband, Tim, and I met lots of Mustachians. Each super-friendly and living wonderfully-interesting lives. Learned about some new websites and connected with others for whom consumption may not be the Holy Grail.
I'd be happy to plan a Denver-area event if there are any takers!

That was definitely a good time.
-
I'd be in for a Denver version.
-
I can't believe that I missed a meet up at the mustachian household! Obviously, my plan of reading all the posts from the beginning isn't working in my favor. I'm in Boulder, and would prefer not to drive all the way to Denver if there are folks closer by. Let me know if you might be interested in a potluck.
-
I'm in Broomfield so a Boulder or Denver meetup would be great. Or we could do it in Broomfield and split the difference!
-
I'm in for a Denver/Boulder meetup. I just moved to Denver in August; would love to meet some MMM readers.

I might do something in Colorado Springs in a couple of months, but nothing set in stone as of yet.
-
I'm in Loveland!!!. Looking forward for 2015 Colorado meeting :)))
-
Hello M from Loveland,
I'm in Loveland too!
-
Hello M from Loveland,
I'm in Loveland too!
Cool!!!. And you're new in the forum, too. Welcome!
-
Longmont here. May organize a meet up on March 28th in my neck of the woods. Let's chat over some good beer...
-
Hmm...I might be tempted. I live in Durango, but I will be in Lakewood for a doctor's appointment on the 26th. Perhaps I should stay up in that part of the state until the 29th?
-
Hey mr1500!, that sounds great, but I might not be able to make it. DH arrives that day from a long bussiness trip. I like to be home in those ocassions.
I'll keep an eye for other meeting opportunities 😊
-
Hey, no problem. Do looks us up when you're down my us. While we've made some great friends in our 2 years in Longmont, none of them echo the MMM values. Sometimes, it's hard to relate...
-
Anybody in southern Colorado? Near Pueblo or Trinidad?
-
Anybody in southern Colorado? Near Pueblo or Trinidad?
My non-mustachian little sister is in Pueblo, and I usually try to make it down there for the Chile and Frijoles festival. It's not out of the picture, but I live a touch more north than that.
-
Golden! One of the best little cities anywhere.

Golden! One of the best little cities anywhere.
Ooh--can you tell me more about Golden? I will probably be staying the night in that area (Golden or Lakewood). I would be interested in good coffee shops and vegetarian restaurants, if you know of any there. Thanks!
-
Is anyone in Littleton/south of Denver? I'm new to this area and am looking for friends with similar interests and priorities.
I'm a mid-20s guy - an engineer who likes hiking, cooking, board games, beer, music... pretty much all the typical stuff in this community. PM if you're in the area and want to meet up some time.

Welcome!!

Hey folks, my wife and I will be in Colorado 4/18 - 4/29. We are looking for a new town to call home. Anyone mind showing us around? We'll be starting in Fort Collins and working our way to Denver checking out all towns in between. Also, we are debating whether to bring our mountain bikes or road bikes; we really want to ride a lot between towns, but those mountain trails are calling me. We are mid 20s and our biggest interests are biking, hiking, and beer.
-
Glad you are planning to move to Colorado, rhut, but the best part of the state is over here in the southwest corner!! We have tons of biking, hiking, and beer, without the traffic and smog of the Denver metro area!!
-

Rhut, NinetyFour is right, but the best of all worlds is Colorado Springs...:P If you make it that far south, feel free to hit me up. I will be back in town as of 4/22. Be more than happy to show you around. Just ask Wolf_Stache.
-
NinetyFour: I'd love to be in a smaller town in that area, but for our jobs starting in a more metro area is probably going to be easier. I'd be happy to visit with mountain bikes in tow once we get settled though!
jordanread: We've thought about trying to get a couple extra days off of work to check out Colorado Springs and Pueblo, if we do it'll be 4/30-4/31. I'll definitely let you know if we do!

Hey everyone!
Not sure if many people will see this announcement at the end of an old thread, so let me know if there is anywhere else I should post it (I did Facebook and Twitter already, but didn't want to use the main blog for a locals-only thing like this).
Some of us are heading to Eben G Fine Park at 4PM - here are the details!
http://www.meetup.com/Boulder-Mustachians/events/222183202/
hope to see you there!

This is the downside of my three-day-a-week weekend shift job: I'm always working when the cool people are doing cool stuff!

Speaking for myself, this particular venue works. Unfortunately, I'm nursing a broken jaw, and just saw it (due to aforementioned broken-ness), but I do get notified of posts in here. Thanks Pete!! Maybe next time.
-
I'm in Denver - basically downtown. Not sure if this group is actively meeting up, but I would be up for it.
-
I live in Colorado Springs.
-
Hi All, this thread might be dead and there might be a newer one with activity, but I am in Denver and would be interested in meeting up.
-
Hi, we are pretty new to this, and would enjoy a meetup. If it were spring I might suggest a bbq, and could revive the thread then to do that. A hike in the foothills is another possibility, which we are happy to do in this weather too. How about the rest of you?

What part of Colorado are you in?

Thank you for your response, jorndanread, I was answering post #99 just above, where Denver area was being discussed. We are in the West Denver area.

Gotcha. I usually organize the ones a bit more South (Colorado Springs), and this thread send to be a general Colorado one, where you then get pointed to the appropriate thread. The are a few for your neck of the woods iirc, but I'm not sure where they are. Someone else should jump in soon though.
-
I'm in Denver and would love to meet some fellow Mustachians! :)
-
I live in Denver and would also be interested in a meetup! And I enjoy a hike as long as it's not too chilly out.
-
I just moved to Boulder a few months ago and would also love to meet some like minded people!
-
Eastern Denver here. The next ~month is a particularly busy one for me, but I'd be game for a meetup in February if people are willing.
-
Posting to follow this thread. Denver. I'm a single parent with a confusing work schedule :-).
-

Hey I'm in Boulder too!
Posting to follow and see if I can make it to the next meetup.
-
It sounds like several people are interested in getting together. How about a group hike, say the first Saturday in February (weather pending)? We could meet up at Matthew Winters Park, which might be a reasonable winter option that won’t require snowshoes. Feel free to make other suggestions, just wanted to get the ball rolling. :)
-
Sounds fun (assuming it isn't -23413 degrees out & snowy)! I don't think I have been hiking there before.
-
I would be interested in meeting up.

Thanks for taking the initiative. That works for us.

Definitely interested in meeting other Mustachians! I'm in Pueblo. A hike, or bbq sounds great!
-
We are in West Denver area, would love to meet up with others, possibly mustachians with children too. The hike sounds great except I work that day. I'd love to hear of other meets ups happening in the area.

I don't work this day but can't make it due to plans I'd made before reading this. Then again, the way work has been lately I may not be able to make one of these for a while. I'll still listen in and see if I can make any future event.
-
Hey all,
How about a doodle poll to figure a date. Looks like a lot more people are saying they cannot make it on the proposed day than can...
-
Hey guys,
Weather looks decent for next Saturday (Feb 4th). My husband and I are still planning on heading to Matthews/Winters Park for a hike. It looks like several people have conflicts that day, but if anyone is still interested in getting together, send me a PM and we can coordinate a meetup!
More info:
http://jeffco.us/open-space/parks/matthews-winters-park/
We should definitely try to set up something else for those that aren’t able to make it on Saturday! :)
-
My husband and I are heading to the Denver area tomorrow through March 20th and were wondering if there was anyone who would want to get together. We would love to meet some like-minded people if we can make schedules work. We are staying off of I70 to ski for a few days and then Fort Collins for the second half of the trip. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up.
-
Hey there! I'm in Longmont which has some fine microbreweries if that's your thing. If not, maybe we can plan something else?
-
Mr1500, we could probably meet up on Monday when we head back to Denver for our flight out. Our flight is at 1:15 am so we have time to kill in the evening before heading to the airport. Are you free?
-
I'm looking for a venue for a Camp Mustache Colorado event.
Does anyone know of a place with lodging (beds) that provides food as well?
Typically summer camps/church camps are good venues for this type of event.
PM me if you have any suggestions for venues!

Here is one possibility:

Hey @arebelspy, did you see my note about the CSU mountain campus in the other thread?
