F.I.dough

Do you enjoy waking up in a panic, not having time for breakfast, and being too busy to take your spouse's call at work? Me neither. What about having to hurry your kids off to school and activities, getting caught in traffic, arriving home late each day, and scarfing down an unsatisfying dinner, only to then drift in to and out of restless nights of sleep due to stress? No? Not your idea of fun? I hear ya. And if you feel the way I do, that this middle-class American "Dream" is starting to give you nightmares, then this is the podcast that we all should be listening to. Brad and Jonathan from Choose FI have open and honest conversations about personal finance concerning real, practical, important life skills that for some reason no one ever really bothers to talk about in life. They find a way to draw in those of us who may be tempted to turn glossy-eyed and run the other way when anything financial is discussed. From cutting grocery bills and paying off student debt, to investing in index funds and learning how to reap credit card rewards for FREE travel, these guys are educating their listeners in ways few such programs can. And guess what...? It doesn't cost you a thing. In only listening to a handful of episodes to date, I can say with great certainty that I have already learned and put into action some habits that will truthfully change the course of my life. I encourage you to listen and do the same.

My husband and I stumbled upon Choose FI recently and love it! Already being an avid listener to Radical Personal Finance and BiggerPockets and reading Mr. Money Mustache’s blog, this podcast is the icing on the cake!! Jonathan and Brad do a great job explaining and digging in deep to the pillars of FI and index investing. I found that after listening to this podcast and episodes of on strategic tax planning and paper asset investing, I was finally able to connect the dots and reach clarity in subjects that seemed foreign to me. Thanks for all your hard work and keep those podcasts coming!!
