You may be a money nerd, if…

You track 2 different versions of your net worth
You fund a college savings account – even though you don’t have any kids yet
You own 3x more credit cards than you do shirts, because #TravelHacking
You have a calendar item set up to check your credit report annually
You go to FinCon every year – even though you don’t have a blog
Your mug collection boasts of spreadsheets, budgeting, or Vanguard
You get more heated debating the RE in FIRE than you do in politics!
You love talking about backdoor roths, even though you don’t fully understand it 😉
You’d rather stay in budgeting on a Friday night than go out partying because OMG WHY WOULD YOU SPEND $7.00 ON A BEER WHEN YOU COULD GET 6 FOR THAT PRICE AT COSTCO?!
You have over 100,000 miles on your vehicle and you’re proud of it
You get more turned on being debt-free than pants-free (hubba hubba)
You have a very strong opinion on whether Dave Ramsey is good or not (He’s good!!)
(You know who Dave Ramsey actually is)
You know just when to call up Comcast and get your bill back lowered again
You have a monthly competition with your spouse on who can beat each other’s credit score
You’ve pre-selected, and paid for, your future burial spot already
You haggle at stores as if they were yard sales
You have stickers on your laptop that say things like “Frugal ≠ Cheap” and “Set your life on FIRE“
And you know that carrying around umbrellas are more than just for the rain

Nerd on!
