What we believe.
We believe that financial independence isn't just about the money. It's about having the freedom to decide what comes next—and having people around you who understand why that matters.
The mission of Women of FI is to create welcoming spaces for people to talk honestly about money, work, relationships, careers, caregiving, relationships, identity, and life design, and the lives we're building—while also connecting with a new friend or two!
We're building a different kind of FI community.
Money is part of your life. Not the whole thing. We want to build a community where members can bring their whole selves. That means talking about the more fundamental issues we face.
We're not afraid to talk about the mental load we sometimes take on, such as caregiving as well as work expectations, finding identity and purpose after FI, and building a life that feels like yours.
Connection
Meet people who understand the FI journey and want relationships that continue beyond the event.
Local
FIRE friends around the corner—not just usernames on the internet.
Emotional safety
Honest conversations without posturing, pressure, or the feeling that you should already know everything.
Self-expression
Financial freedom can mean different things to different people. We're interested in yours.
Emotional intelligence
We notice the little things, anticipate needs, and create an environment where people can participate comfortably.
We've thought of it
From thoughtful details to clear communication, we've thought of everything so you don't have to.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
Whether you're just starting, already FI, questioning what retirement means, or simply curious about the conversation—you are welcome here.
Come spend some time with us.
We host two annual events designed to make it easy to learn, participate, relax, and actually get to know people.
These are not conferences or businessy network events. We host thoughtfully designed gatherings where you can participate at your own pace.
