FinCon 2019 is officially underway. It’s a great chance for like-minded individuals to gather together to meet, chat, and make lifelong best friends with each other. It’s like science camp for nerds. I mean adult nerds. I mean, the people who probably went to science camps as kids are currently in Washington, DC enjoying Fincon. They’re meeting their favorite bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers and best blogging buddies. They’re drinking fancy beer, wearing MadFientist and ChooseFI T-shirts, and fighting over who can acquire the most Mr. Burrito Bowl business cards from Financial Pilgrimage. It’s a whole thing.
I’ve never felt like I was missing anything by not being at FinCon, but now that I actually know a lot of the people in the community I’m experiencing FOMO in a way I never did with science camp. These are my people. Sure, some of them wear Asics running shoes with jeans, or make unintentional tourniquets because of how tightly they wear their wrist watches…but they’re my people. They’re my kind of people and I am saddened to miss hanging out with them.
Here’s what it feels like.
Anyway.
Have fun at FinCon everybody.
Here’s a few less depressing articles to cheer you up if you’re also not at FinCon.
