  • Playing with FIRE — The Documentary
  • Retirement Calculator — Watching my retirement age decrease as I increased my savings showed me the power of our savings rate and the real possibility of early retirement. I come back to this tool often to check my assumptions or just for encouragement. We hope you will too.
  • 100 | Welcome to the FI Community ChooseFI — Brad and Jonathan look back at the ChooseFI’s growth during the past 100 episodes and hit the highlights of financial independence for new community members and recap their own financial independence journeys.
  • Welcome To Financial Independence! | ChooseFI — Explore Beginners Guide This guide will walk you through the basics of financial independence but if something doesn’t fit for your life that’s ok. This is your journey and your life. Use the tips you find helpful and toss the rest. We know as a group we can get a little extreme (ok, a lot extreme), but our community is full of diverse and wonderful people. There is no one way to reach financial independence. Check out our guide for beginners. Prefer a more visual version? Check out our illustrated How of FI series.
  • The Shockingly Simple Math Behind Early Retirement — If you are spending 100% (or more) of your income, you will never be prepared to retire, unless someone else is doing the saving for you (wealthy parents, social security, pension fund, etc.). So your work career will be Infinite. If you are spending 0% of your income (you live for free somehow), and can maintain this after retirement, you can retire right now. So your working career can be Zero. In between, there are some very interesting considerations. As soon as you start saving and investing your money, it starts earning money all by itself. Then the earnings on those earnings start earning their own money. It can quickly become a runaway exponential snowball of income. As soon as this income is enough to pay for your living expenses, while leaving enough of the gains invested each year to keep up with inflation, you are ready to retire.
  • Stock Series — Stock Series. 'Nuff said.
  • FIRE Explained — Playing with FIRE — Refreshingly, the mechanics of FIRE not being conveyed by formal experts in a dry text book fashion. More powerfully, they are being illustrated through the real-life examples of the interesting but ordinary folks of FIRE who come in all shapes and sizes. FIRE principles tend to be presented in plain language for easy implementation. Practical categories like reduced housing expense, car expense, sound investment strategy and tax optimization are delivered in easy to digest posts, interviews and stories.

  • Synod 2018 on Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment — Synod 2018 on Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment
  • Final Document from the Pre-Synodal Meeting — The Church must adopt a language which engages the customs and cultures of the young so that all people have the opportunity to hear the message of the Gospel. However, we are passionate about the different expressions of the Church. Some of us have a passion for “the fire” of contemporary and charismatic movements that focus on the Holy Spirit; others are drawn towards silence, meditation, and reverential traditional liturgies. All of these things are good as they help us to pray in different ways. Outside of the Church, many young people live a contented spirituality, but the Church could engage them with the right instruments.
  • Katie Prejean – Catholic Youth Minister — Katie Prejean is a dynamic and engaging Catholic speaker & author with a passion for sharing the Faith 
  • Catching Foxes Episode 34: 34 Interview with Peeping Thomist Brian Jones — We talk with Brian about his doctoral studies in St Thomas Aquinas' philosophy and theology, which opens up conversations about atheism and materialism, Ghostbusters, why Gomer hasn't seen Ghostbusters 1, but he has seen 2, and Thomas Aquinas on Islam. It's a pretty crazy episode, full of grace and truth!
  • Gomer and Luke are creating Catching Foxes | Patreon — Tired of consuming, we decided to create. And you listened, which is kind of amazing. So, we are going all in and creating the type of show you've always wanted.
