EconoMe is a 1 day event where 9 speakers will guide us in questioning our assumptions about happiness, freedom, and prosperity through the lens of personal finance. This event has roots in the FIRE movement (financial independence, retire early), which is a lifestyle movement with the goal of financial freedom. Attendees can expect a full day of programing including 2 sessions of provocative speakers, an opportunity to screen a new documentary about the FIRE movement called Playing with Fire and an after party
We'd welcome any content/papers related to the topic of personal finance and the intersection of money and happiness. Many people pursue financial independence to have more control over their own lives, but may find that early retirement doesn't make them happy. We'd be interested in distributing content to attendees and event followers (through social media) to help people understand how money and work plays a role in their life... as well as other areas people should invest in to ultimately lead to their happiness. While there is no one size fits all when it comes to personal finance and what will ultimately lead to happiness, we intend to give attendees food for thought.
