Many, many warm thanks to everyone who attended todayā€™s FIRE Meetup in Bern, it was such a **great** time meeting you all and exchange about such various topics as personal backgrounds, financial education, ETF and real estate investing, frugalism, savings rates, chinese culture, projections on the turkish lira, alloys and MRI scans, LTE antennas in tunnels, taxation arbitrage between Fribourg and Zug,hobbies, wives, diversification in offspringā€¦ among many, many other topics šŸ˜‰ ![20220813_182036 (1)](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2adb9379471a3cf9508615f0fa4ef45c2cfd785e.jpeg) At a comfortable 10 adult attendees on our first revival of the Bern Meetup it appears we already beat Lausanne and Genevaā€™s attendance recordsā€¦ and thatā€™s without counting the children (i.e. future investors) ! Bern being more centrally located than other FIRE-Meetup locations, we were able to gather Mustachians from as far west as Lausanne and as far east as ZĆ¼rich, representing 6 different nationalities! ![20220813_184803-1](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/768c9d9d2c0b5d3b3835b1055a251619b4c08967.jpeg) The weather was impeccable, the food divine, the setting family-friendlyā€¦ even the Bernese Bear was thoughtful enough to bring his piggybank with him ! ![20220813_173632](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/uploads/default/original/2X/b/bfd98dc286a5fd70b389469f41fb72b775c7c029.jpeg) The majority voted to make this a quarterly thing, and we agreed to meet up again in November ā€¦when weā€™ll hopefully dethrone ZĆ¼richā€™s attendance numbers. šŸ˜‰ Thank you all for coming today (especially to those who rode/drove from far away), it was a lot of fun šŸ™‚ See you guys next time ! ![1](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a1d2fd6f58645302b17f478df6c4532203c67bbd.jpeg) Stay on FIREā€¦but stay cool!

~~**IMPORTANT UPDATE**~~ ~~Altes Tramdepot wonā€™t have sufficient seating capacity at their last remaining round table for this Saturday, but only the next one, i.e. Saturday Nov. 19th.~~ ~~I tried looking for some alternatives, but none seemed fitting, or even a sure thing.~~ ~~Iā€™ve had to think quick because this was, again, their last round table, these tables are being booked like hot cakes at this time of the year apparetnyl , so I called back and booked a large round table for:~~ ~~_ **Saturday, November 19th at 8pm @Altes Tramdepot - Bern** _~~ ~~Iā€™ve checked with other people from the FIRE community who arenā€™t from this forum, and informed them of the change as well.~~ ~~I apologize for the slight confusion, and very much hope to see you all on Saturday Nov. 19th.~~ ---

OK, Iā€™ve adjusted my calendar, although thereā€™s a 10% chance for a scheduling collision to materialize. Just to confirm: This is 8:00 pm now, right? The doodle states something about 5:00 pm. Yes, the tram depot is booked well in advance, esp. for Fridays and Saturdays. With more than say half a dozen guests, there are not too many options in Bern. See you! J. ---

I will have to pass on that one, 8pm is way too late for me. See you on the next one. ---

Hey everyone, it looks like the 8pm time slot, besides ThePoorSwiss, doesnā€™t work for most people. Only 4-5 people confirmed their attendance for the 19th. It wouldnā€™t really make sense to go on with the meetup with potentially less than 40% attendance . So I , once again called Tramdepot, and booked their biggest table for āš  **Saturday November 26th at 6PM** āš  . I apologize for the confusion. Hopefully, this should work for the majority, please let me know . Iā€™m doing my best to make sure the next Meetup is another success. Just for organizational clarityā€™s sake please fill in the doodle šŸ™[Doodle](https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/eXogRL8d) ---

Lost my ability to edit my Doodle choices (Alex) because I used disposable account. So I will put a message here, at first I could come to all the dates but as we fixed on 12/19th, I put something on 26th. Sorry, will see you at the next one. ---
