This weekend is the Berkshire Hathaway meeting in Omaha. I’m in town with Mindy:

And the dinosaurs:
Also in town is Grant from Millennial Money, Cody from Fly to FI, the Frugal Professor, and last, but never least, the Waffle Couple.
Party Time, FIRE Style
There are three, fun parties going on this weekend.
1. Shareholder Meeting
The Berkshire Hathaway meeting may be the ultimate financial meetup:
Where else can you hang out with thousands of millionaires and at least a couple of billionaires? This is the FIRE crowd, OG style.
I love attending the meeting. The energy is intense; like a big rock concert. Buffett’s words are inspirational. And then there is Charlie…
Charlie Munger is the unsung hero of Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett even called him the “architect of the current Berkshire” in one of the shareholder letters a couple of years ago. He’s a polymath and I devour everything that comes out of his mouth (uggh, that doesn’t sound right). In any case, I was standing around the Berkshire exhibition hall a couple of years ago when a golf cart pulled up next to me. In the passenger seat was Charlie! I nearly crapped myself. I was WAAAAAY too intimidated to talk to him, but I did manage to take one very poor picture of him standing in the elevator:
I have two extra passes in case anyone would like to attend. It’s all day on Saturday. Leave a comment or shoot me a note via the contact form if you’d like my extra passes

May 3, 2019 at 7:38 amIt will NOT be the same without the PoPs!
Claire and I are running the 5K! And in related news, I’m down to 155, a two-decade weight low. I hope that this allows me to beat my time of 29:59 last year when I weighed 164.
Mr PoP @ Planting Our Pennies says
May 3, 2019 at 10:15 amAww, wish we were there! Congrats on the weight too…imagine running the 5k with a 9lb weight on your back =P

Mr. Tako says
May 2, 2019 at 7:33 pmHave fun! It’s a shame Berkshire Hathaway stock has under-performed lately. He’s done so much for the investing world, he kinda deserves to go out on a high note.

May 3, 2019 at 7:23 amYep. I’ve had a bunch and it’s been a dud. Some argue that it’s undervalued. That stuff is above my pay grade.
Mark Trautman says
May 2, 2019 at 10:47 pmSorry I couldn’t be there this year. Have a beer for me. Hope to see you all there next year.
Cheers!

May 3, 2019 at 12:14 amThe reason to own Berkshire hathaway stock. For admittance to the annual meeting. That and the discount in geico insurance (IS that a real thing?). I read the huge Warren Buffet biography, and it inclured some biography about Charlie Munger. BOTH were characters in their youth. Though they probadly still are. . If you haven’t read it, it’s fascinating and some of the pranks Warren Buffet did as a kid….wow. “Snow ball effect”.
