ChooseFI International Foundation

Crush debt and live healthier, happier, and more secure lives with Financial Independence. It all starts with education, and we focus on two broad groups: students in the K-12 system, and the military. Many people in the FI movement say they regret not starting sooner. We’re working hard to help the next generation get started earlier. Students need financial skills and training to be ready for life after graduation. We teach skills like how to: Determine needs versus wants. Delay gratification. Put together a budget. Avoid debt. Maximize savings. But here’s the rub. Many students aren’t getting any of this much-needed training. According to the Council for Economic Education 2018 Survey of the States, only 17 states require high school students to take a course in personal finance. And there is FI for the Military. When someone signs up to serve, they also unlock a path to FI. But many aren’t shown how to harness this opportunity. We can help. Every so often, we find an opportunity to serve those who serve us all. We can’t think of a better way of showing our appreciation of our servicemen and servicewomen than helping them secure the financial future of themselves and their families. A military career unlocks a surefire way to FI, but it’ll take a bit of knowledge to pull the right levers. From getting the most out of military pension plans, to optimizing savings rates for investment opportunities, to educational and travel benefits, the path to military FI is a solid one with the right know-how and minds The ChooseFI International Foundation is led and run by a group of individuals who have reached financial independence and who want to give something back. Together, they represent a broad tapestry of experiences and skillsets, giving the Foundation a strength of purpose and an excellence in execution that have mirrored their own careers.
