And also that you don’t have to be crazy, or spartan, or greedy. Brad’s thoughtful kindness is a breath of fresh air in this genre. He really listens, and he sounds curious about the things I’m curious about—even though some of it is stuff he knows inside and out.

This is definitely my favorite podcast. It isn’t about money (well, it is, a bit), it is about life. Your life will be better after every episode. Brad is a normal guy with great insights and phenomenal guests. A must listen!

This is an amazing podcast that if you take action on…you can’t help but become wealthy! Wish I would have started sooner, but glad I found it when I did. Brad asks great questions and always has such an amazing perspective on the FI journey. I do miss the back and forth with Jonathan, but Brad...Read full review »

Live the show, but very disappointed about episode 482 which was enticingly named as “remote tech jobs being relevant” but instead was a huge long ad about a paid salesforce site and had nothing to do about tech jobs in general. All the other episodes are great though.

Grateful for Brad and ChooseFi! I’ve listened to the podcast for about five years now and have learned more than I ever thought possible! I knew little to nothing about investing or the idea of early retirement before starting the podcast. Fortunately my husband and I are now set to hit FI by the...Read full review »

I really appreciate the hosts candor and humor as well as the bread range of topics they cover that are helping me on my own journey to financial independence and an early retirement.
La_bibliotecaria via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I just found Choose Fi and the whole concept of financial independence. This is huge. I would have been so much better off if I had found this podcast back when it first started, but I’m not dwelling on what could have been. I’m getting my life in order and also introducing my friends and family...Read full review »

Choose FI is on high rotation for me. It offers valuable insights into what financial independence can mean - no matter where you are on your journey and how you get there. Brad’s ability to bring diverse perspectives to the table has not only inspired me but also deeply influenced my approach to...Read full review »

I love how they cover a wide range of topics and point you toward the most optimal choices.
Rushlow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/23
This podcast is a wonderful blend of education and entertainment. Brad and Jonathan ask insightful and intelligent questions while at the same time make you feel like it’s just a casual conversation among friends. It took me several months to listen to the 100+ episodes but well worth my time. I...Read full review »
Alimoyni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/23
Great for someone looking to shore up their finances and ideally start actually getting in the game. In the last episode, however, the host started harping on people for trying to game credit card rewards points. It seemed odd until I realized the show is compensated by at least a handful of...Read full review »

I have been listening to ChooseFI for about 2-3 years now. This podcast truly has some eye opening content for folks taking the 1st step towards living a more meaningful life aka attaining financial independence. Content varies from FI 101 like index investing, expense tracking, have a higher...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast for almost a year now. The host and guest speakers are always honest and helpful to the community. I’ve never felt so driven to getting off the hamster wheel and choosing financial independence.
Temple Run !!<3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/23
I discovered ChooseFI during my senior year of college, and have since listened to every single episode. This podcast is the bedrock of my family's financial structure. Brad (and previously Jonathan) break down concepts, discuss its applicability in your life, and always leave actionable tips...Read full review »

Host overshadows all guests. It’s frustrating to listen to. It’s like listening to one of your friends figure out something simple out loud. If the host ever gets replaced, I’ll be back as a listener.
$onibear23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/23
This podcast has changed my life. I went back to episode 1 and began consuming everything both Brad and Jonathan have said. Then I came across episode 10 when Jonathan took on the challenge to lose 30 pounds in three months before his sons birth. Well after hearing that something clicked in my...Read full review »
JoshRod209 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/23
I’ve been an avid listener since the beginning, and I could not be more enthusiastic about ChooseFI. The absolute stars of the show though has to be (originally) the charisma of Brad and Jonathon and more lately Brad pulling the show by himself. I have seen a lot of podcasts run out of material...Read full review »

I started listening to this show at least four years ago and got off to a slow start. As a woman, I was a little skeptical at first about a two dudes telling me my money business. But I’d drop in and listen every now and again and Brad and Jonathan grew on me over time, as I realized they are not...Read full review »

For someone who thought he had it mostly figured out, I was introduced to MMM in 2020 which soon led to ChooseFI and changed my life forever.

The ChooseFI podcast offers invaluable tips in an easy to understand way that I put into practice even though we are only about 10 years from retirement. My favorite tip to date was starting a Roth IRA for my son when he got his first part time job and watching as he maxes it out each year since...Read full review »

Basically anything they cover, is good. And it’s definitely not always about money, just about living a good life :)
Memememeeeeeeeeeeer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/23
I’m new to the concepts of FI, and really just started listening a few years ago. This podcast is always on my list of downloads, and I love the constant stream of action items Brad offers. My only recommendation, is to be a sponge and soak up all the information this podcast provides. The fire...Read full review »

I can’t really thank Brad enough for these weekly podcasts. The information passed on helped me save a lot of money and put me on the path to FI.

Having Ginger join the pod as a semi-regular cohost was a great move. I love the dynamic between the two, especially when Ginger’s counseling background shines through, and it’s great to hear a woman’s perspective in a field that’s still pretty heavily male. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Brad on being chosen to be included on the Dexa site!! OMG I never heard of Dexa and already love it I typed in HELOC and 3 different episodes popped up about it - Hallelujah!! Thank you for all you do

Very interested in the topic but the host dominants the conversation incessantly (particularly with female guests). Would like to learn more but prefer a back/forth exchange of information - fewer monologues, ideally.
Jolynne Smyth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
This podcast will change your life! Brad presents well rounded information applicable to everyone. I listen to this podcast every week.

This show helped me reduce my spending increase my yearly savings by about ~20%. There is so much fantastic advice and now I am on a path to healthy spending and retirement
Kenitaly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/23
Brad is honest and responsive to his listeners, making this the greatest crowdsourced finance podcast. He’s building a new format with his co-host transitioning and it’s still hitting important topics and covering details that money nerds want to know.

The ChooseFI podcast and website are a treasure trove of all things FI. The information can be truly life changing.
Mountains and Pine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/23
I feel as if I don’t have as many opportunities to listen to podcasts as others so I only get to listen to a few each week. I feel like I need to be selective and alternate, however this is the one I make sure I do listen to each week.
Isaac-Heather via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/23
You can just tell Brad is an intelligent and good dude, and the enthusiasm he brings is contagious. We need more people like this touting the game-changing possibilities of FI and the optimism it can bring. Choose FI manages to toe the line between dogma and too in the weeds. This show has...Read full review »

I loved episode 436 especially because the listener is an immigrant who just started his FI journey and I resonated with many aspects of his journey because I am a Caribbean immigrant, solo income, on my FI journey as well.

I was already at FI when I came across podcast this but wanted to write a review to keep boosting it. These are all the principles that I wish I had learned when I was 16.
