I went to San Diego for a personal finance conference this past weekend - it's so fun to be around folks who understands and gets excited about personal finance. I learned a lot, met amazing people, had a ton of fun and feel inspired to continue to share my knowledge to help anyone interested to learn how to reach financial independence.
