    This conference is gonna be the bomb! Can’t wait, and now that they’ve announced the speakers, I’m really looking forward to it! Look forward to meeting you too my friend. Maybe we should do a financial blogger conference love drop!

    I’ve never been to Chicago.

    An environment where it’s not taboo to talk about money?

    Don’t tempt me.

    REALLY want to come. Hoping I can make it, not giving up.

    @Peter – Funny you should mention that ;) PT and I are cookin’ up a little sumthin’ sumthin’
    @TJ – Dude, you’d LOVE it. Beautiful place, and beautiful people. And then there’s the bloggers too ;)
    @Ashley @ Money Talks – If you hurry up and buy a ticket you’ll be FORCED to go ;) do it! do it!
    @Jessica, The Debt Princess – Sometimes you just have to jump in and make it happen :) 1st time EVER doing this, can’t miss out on that!

    Autographs? That’s totally worth the $89 price. I have my reg. filled out and am giving myself 5 minutes to decide…I think it’s worth it, especially as a blogger newbie… I’ve never been to a conference like this and I will be going solo. (Deep breath).

  6. Ruby April 9, 2011 at 7:11 PM

    I put on my big-girl pants and registered! I’ll bring the party with me… ;)

  7. MainlineMom April 9, 2011 at 7:39 PM

    Oh this sounds great! I’ll definitely have to look into it. LOVE Chicago anyway.

  8. Ruby April 9, 2011 at 8:02 PM

    @MainlineMom You mean you love Chicago in the spring and fall right? I love it here too…just not when the cold wind blows!

  9. TJ April 9, 2011 at 9:56 PM

    @J$ It’s a long flight for only two days =)

  10. Philip April 10, 2011 at 1:09 AM

    Thanks for the shout out, J. I am going to give you a big PF hug when I see you.

  11. Kathryn C April 10, 2011 at 1:44 AM

    can’t wait, I’m going!!!

  12. Sense April 10, 2011 at 8:16 AM

    what a great idea! i hope it takes off and becomes a regular thing.

    ooh i’m jealous! it would be so interesting to be around people who understand why i keep all of my receipts. haha. i think you guys going on your own are very brave, too–Ruby, i’m lookin’ at you. Since i am anonymous, it would just be so trippy to introduce myself as ‘Sense’ and have all these people (OK, like 3 people, but you know what I mean) know about my life when I’ve never met them in real life!!

  13. J. Money April 10, 2011 at 4:41 PM

    @Ruby – Wonderful!!! It’s our very first conference, so we’ll all be new there ;) And as soon as you find the guy w/ the mohawk, you go right up to him and he’ll keep you company and make you feel at home. Promise :)
    @MainlineMom – Looking forward to being there in better weather too! Been twice my entire life (in past 4 months, actually) and it was not the most pleasant out ;) This should be much better!
    @TJ – Hey, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
    @Philip – As long as you’ve got a beer in one of those hands ;)
    @Kathryn C – GREAT!!! See you there :)
    @Sense – You should show up to REALLY make TJ feel bad, haha… All the way from New Zealand, you’d be a hit! (and I hope it continues year after year too – I have a sneaking suspicion it will. so you’ll have plenty of time to make it back ;))

    I am so excited for FINCON! And to finally meet you, Mr. J. Money!

  15. Rob Bennett April 11, 2011 at 8:43 AM

    I’m signed up, J.

    I’m going to be cornering everybody at the social events and demanding that they talk with me about Safe Withdrawal Rates.

    That’s a joke!

    Rob

  16. J. Money April 11, 2011 at 11:14 AM

    @krystalatwork – WOO!!!! So glad you’re going too! Man, your blog was one of the first I started reading, so crazy we’ll all be in the same spot now and can meet in real life :) Consider yourself in my top 3 people I’m excited to meet, haha…
    @Rob Bennett – hahahaha… omg that would be too funny. it’ll be fun to see you too my man, for sure :) we’ll cause some trouble together.

  17. jennydecki April 11, 2011 at 9:29 PM

    SHUT UP it’s in Chicago? Oh MAN. I want to go, but I’m trying to hard to quit blogging…every time I think I’ve made up my mind I get SUCKED back in LOL – DARN YOU!!! :)

  18. J. Money April 11, 2011 at 9:39 PM

    haha…. well don’t go for the blogging aspect then, go to chill with the most awesome people in the entire world ;)

  19. Jessica07 May 24, 2011 at 2:34 PM

    I REALLY want to go to this, too! Chicago is quite the little trek from my little ranch in Kansas, though. :(

  20. J. Money May 28, 2011 at 4:41 PM
