00:00:02.580 | - I'm at the Vogelheads Conference 2023.
00:00:14.420 | - We love coming to the Vogelheads meetings.
00:00:16.580 | - Being here is like going to Disneyland.
00:00:19.220 | - We just love learning more about investing
00:00:21.100 | and making the most of our money.
00:00:23.740 | - It's a very broad community,
00:00:25.400 | but I think that the common theme that binds them
00:00:27.500 | is that they really want to be able to make the most
00:00:29.400 | of their resources.
00:00:30.580 | - One of the things that I think is really different
00:00:32.340 | about the Vogel Center for Financial Literacy
00:00:35.060 | is that it educates us to be do-it-yourself investors
00:00:38.820 | and understand spending, understand investing,
00:00:41.420 | understand saving.
00:00:42.620 | - I realize how much I do not know about personal finance,
00:00:46.700 | and I think Vogelhead Conference
00:00:48.900 | brought a lot of that to light.
00:00:50.340 | - The one thing that separates you from your money
00:00:53.660 | quicker than anything is the lack of knowledge.
00:00:56.820 | And oftentimes, there are not a lot of places
00:00:59.140 | where you feel you can get information that is unbiased,
00:01:02.660 | and that's what this conference is.
00:01:04.600 | - For me, the value has been being able to meet people
00:01:08.860 | during the breakout sessions, during the breakfast,
00:01:11.720 | during the lunch, passing in the hall.
00:01:13.980 | - I loved kind of being immersed in the community.
00:01:17.620 | Vogelheads are like the smartest people I know.
00:01:20.780 | - We had access to talk to the speakers,
00:01:23.500 | and they are all very down-to-earth and very welcoming
00:01:26.140 | for us to walk up to them and talk to them.
00:01:29.060 | And just to be able to chat with them one-on-one,
00:01:31.300 | face-to-face, it's just an in-person experience.
00:01:34.260 | You can't get watching them or reading a book.
00:01:37.740 | - You can listen to YouTube and podcasts and online,
00:01:41.500 | and there's so much information out there.
00:01:43.620 | I think what the Vogelhead Conference does
00:01:45.380 | is bring it all together in one place.
00:01:47.460 | - If you're interested in investing, it's really terrific.
00:01:50.300 | Even if you're just getting started,
00:01:51.620 | I think I would encourage everyone to attend this.
00:01:54.660 | - Get here, get here, this will be your best experience.
00:01:57.460 | It's kind of become like a family affair.
00:01:59.700 | - It's like a love fest every time we see these people,
00:02:02.860 | and we just keep coming back.
