Hi all,

I am new to REI and BP. I've lived in Raleigh/Durham, NC for 25 years. BRRRRing sounds like the best strategy for getting my feet wet, so I'm currently looking for a market and will be attending my first local meetup this week. I work full-time, but would love to become financially independent and location flexible in 5 years. Looking forward to connecting and learning!

@Dana Lapple Are you going to the meetup on Wednesday at Hickory Tavern?

@Dawn Brenengen I'm going to the TREIA for new investors at Golden Corral this Wednesday.  Is there something else I should know about?

@Dana Lapple We have a casual one every month as well

@Dawn Brenengen Oh, that looks great.  Wish I had known about it before buying a ticket to the other event.  Well, I'll put it on my calendar for Sept.  Thanks!

@Dana Lapple Welcome to BP! I'm somewhat new as well, and love the idea of being financially free in 10 years. There's a lot of great information here to help you get there. Good luck!
