Testimonial

"The Financial Independence movement has grown to be a movement in large part because of a podcast called ChooseFI."

  • I love listening to Choose FI and look forward to each new episode. I first was intrigued finding out Jonathan was a retail pharmacist because I am as well! I’m a single mom of 3 year old twins, finished paying off 6 figure school loans while also cash flowing divorce attorney fees and staying out of debt. This podcast gives the best practical info for living your best life while not accruing consumer debt. Thanks for all the work you do! While I’m not activist pursuing Fire it is inspiring to know it is well within reach for almost any income level.

  • I discovered the ChooseFI podcast on on the FI subreddit around April of this year. Until then I simply did not "get" podcasts. I caught up on ALL of your episodes and find something actionable or inspiring in every one. I also have discovered other podcasts that are helping me laugh, learn and stay inspired. I started with a net worth about -$20,000 and am down to -$16,000 despite making relatively low income in a HCOL area and am finally on my way to being broke. Therefore it would not be much of an exageration to say that your podcast has changed my life.
