I was one of the first 5,000 listeners in 2017. This podcast changed everything about what my spouse and I did for retirement savings. Nine years and hundreds of episodes later we’ve grown in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
I enjoyed this podcast before Jonathan came back. Ugh he is so bro-ey. I can’t listen because I hate the tone so much. Please, can Jonathan go back to back office informatics and can Ginger do more episodes.
I found ChooseFI when they featured Maggie from Inside Out Money as a guest. Even though I’ve listened to Maggie for years, I felt like Ginger pulled new insights out—she’s a talented interviewer! I’m working my way through the backlog now. I appreciate Brad’s thoughtfulness and commitment to the community. 💜
I used to love listening but finding myself listening to the first few minutes and ending the episode. Sounds more judgmental and elitist lately. I like Suze Orman and her women focus and cringe every time you pooh pooh her for her save more message. Perhaps adding a Choose FI stinks segment like Clark Howard does for some constructive feedback.
I absolutely love this podcast and Brad and Jonathan’s mission.
My life has changed in ways that I never imagined possible.
Listen, take notes, take action, build relationships, wealth, and an extraordinary life!
Thank you!!
