About us
Welcome!
We're a Colorado social group loosely organized around the FIRE community (Financial Independence Retire Early), although mainly that's just an excuse to meet interesting, thoughtful new people.
Because of this, our events are pretty varied and random in theme. But in general we tend to do things that are positive and healthy for both us and for the world at large. Come out and join the conversation!
We also have our own "Headquarters" building in Downtown Longmont which is open to people really looking to join something cool - you can learn more at https://www.theficollective.com/
Note: this group is a strictly non-commercial place for the free exchange of ideas. To serve that purpose, all members have access to a group-wide discussion board and other tools to foster open communication. However, using the provided group communication tools to promote your product or service offerings to our members is unacceptable and may result in removal from this group upon review by our Organizers.

Sunday Morning Discussions: Pros and Cons of Long Form Travel
East Simpson Coffee Company, 201 E Simpson St, Lafayette, CO, USA year in Spain sipping red wine and eating tapas sounds lovely right? How about months in Thailand, living the tropical high life on the cheap? Or cruising the USA in a van?
Maybe you’ve seen the social media allure of life on the road as a digital nomad, early retiree, or even as a mid-career break. However, with those choices come unexpected tradeoffs: language and cultural barriers, stressful logistics, friends and family left behind, and the realities of socioeconomic divides between the haves and the have-nots. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of long-term travel.
Please note: The coffee shop kindly hosts us with the expectation that each attendee makes a purchase. Please plan accordingly.
