In this episode: FI numbers, financial independence, approaching problems differently, and adjusting spending to accommodate FI.

This week join our host Brad in celebrating 500 episodes of Choose FI, as he talks about the start of his FI journey, and highlights topics and episodes from the last few years. The path to FI isn’t just about simplifying your life, but empowering yourself and taking action to design and create the life you want to be living. And while the list is endless for how FI can improve your life, the community you find while on this journey is just as rewarding. Thank you to our listeners and supporters for being on this journey with us!
