What is a ChooseFI local group?

ChooseFI local groups are community-driven gatherings designed to bring individuals interested in financial independence together in various geographic regions. These groups provide a platform for sharing knowledge about financial independence, engaging in discussions, organizing skill-building sessions, and facilitating networking among members. The activities can range from informal meetups at a brewery to structured events like real estate investment discussions. Members can also participate in special interest cohorts, like the ChooseFI Book Club group 1.

By fostering a local community, these groups aim to enhance members' knowledge and skills related to financial independence through interaction and mutual support. The groups are not just a way to exchange information but also function as a tool for creating meaningful connections in the local area, expanding on ideas such as exploring local frugal activities or finding recommended service providers 2.

Brad Barrett and other hosts of the ChooseFI podcast have emphasized the impact and growth of these groups globally, noting their importance in enhancing community engagement and personal financial growth within their respective cities and communities 3 4.
