I am in Kuwait on my third deployment and I was remembering back to my first deployment. A wise captain asked me what I was doing with all the tax-free money that I was making. At the time I was put a small amount into a ridiculous institution called First Command with front-loaded mutal funds and excessive life insurance that I now know I didn't need. He told me about Vanguard and I started just stashing money in there instead (which when you are a deployed, single officer with free meals and lodging was a lot). I am very grateful to that captain for his help and I feel I am now that person with a debt to pay to folks around me.
I thought about starting an group to spread mustachian ideas, but I do not really know what it would look like. My investment strategy of index funds is pretty simple and can be explained pretty quickly (or at least it's obvious to me at this point).
So after a long-winded background, my questions are:
1. Would a weekly club over here be a decent forum or would there be a better way to spread the word to people who have a great opportunity in their lives to kick start their retirement?
2. What would we do from week to week? How would one introduce a topic and fill a half-hour or an hour in a worthwhile way?
3. What would be some good topics?
Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts.
