I have nothing in common with the typical person. I drew this beautiful chart to help explain:
I fully acknowledge that I’m a weirdo and I’m completely cool with it. The other like-minded weirdos that I do manage to find are some of the best people that I know. If I had it my way, I’d put all of the Kardashian watchers on one side of the world and all of us weirdos on the other side. I’m realistic, so I know that’s a ridiculous idea that will never happen.
However, it doesn’t mean that we can’t congregate every once in a while:
- I’ve been to a couple Mr. Money Mustache meetups and they are loads of fun
- FinCon is like a great big party with old friends
- In early 2016, I’ll be traveling to Los Angeles to meet my friend Income Surfer Bryan at the Daily Journal meeting to see Charlie Munger.
- Later in 2016, I’ll be traveling to Ecuador to meet up with Jimmy Collins and friends
However, it’s still not enough.
I’ve been reading about the Frugalwoods’ hunt for a rural property in Vermont. They have stated that they want at least 20 acres in the beautiful woods. Twenty acres can accommodate a lot of people. I was daydreaming recently and put it all together:
Beautiful homestead + Frugal friends =
FrugalWoodstock!!!
So now, the question everyone is asking is this:
Is FrugalWoodstock for real or is it just a figment of my wild imagination?
Hell, I don’t know! In the meantime, click on over to Frugalwoods to read my guest post. There, you can sign up to win tickets to FrugalWoodstock*!

December 30, 2015 at 7:04 amWe can make it real buddy, though if Vermont plans fall through we could always plan something more centrally located. Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc. Either way I’ll make it there in 2016, but right now I’m trying to figure out how to make FinCon 2015….given all the other trips this year.
Happy New Years to the whole 1500 family

December 30, 2015 at 11:58 amI fully admit that half (probably more actually) of my extremely juvenile sense of humor revolves around farts, but I’ve never asked anyone to pull my finger. I have a new goal for 2016!! As someone once said: “Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.”

December 30, 2015 at 8:25 amI think I just put myself in a group. I read the “V-8s” and thought “people are talking about tomato juice?” LOL

December 30, 2015 at 12:13 pmHa ha! The tomato juice would clearly put you in the left column!

December 30, 2015 at 11:55 amWhoah, I have to check that out. I could go for an island!
Joseph Beckenbach says
December 30, 2015 at 9:45 amUh oh, now you’ve done it. 🙂
FinCon 2016 will overflow with people coming at you out of side hallways and elevators, volunteering so many different aspects that you’ll be forced to actually create the thing. The Universe enforces this by having Frugalhound pull Mama Frugalwoods past a real-estate store-front displaying a listing of The Perfect Property, and they miss FinCon 2016 to close on it. You will have then have nine months to pull together Frugalstock in time for the summer solstice 2017, bolstered by a small battalion of New England frugalistas clearing the land and setting up the site directed by Mister Frugalwoods with Mister Money Mustache advising.
See if it don’t happen that way! 😀
1500 says
December 30, 2015 at 11:54 amHa ha, you have an awesome imagination! As a result, I have nominated you Head of Planning for FrugalWoodstock! Let’s do it!

December 31, 2015 at 7:50 amI also vote for this in the Northeast. My best friend and I had a fake band called the Satanic Dutchboys. I was the drummer. He was the tamborine player. We have been looking for a gig. This would be great. Or we could start our own band. I used to play the cello in the 5th and 6th grades.
