Hi, glad you've found us!

We meet in Leeds (United Kingdom) to talk about Financial Independence (FI).

We understand money is neither the root of all evil nor a silver bullet to life's challenges: the truly wealthy avoid ostentation; lottery winners are seldom happy or rich long after their "lucky" day.

We inspire each other by sharing knowledge, experience and resources. In a culture where discussion of numbers and money is taboo, pursuing FI can be a lonely business.

Our world is driven by money; mastery of money is what we discuss. Either we are slaves to it or we use it to buy freedom and time for what we want to do.

Common topics include:

early retirement
investing
budgeting
saving
reducing expenses
frugality
lifestyle engineering
tax optimisation
entrepreneurship
good habits
mindful spending
simple living
self-sufficiency
debt elimination
personal responsibility

Meetings are sometimes topped off with the Cheapskate of the Month award. You. Have. Been. Warned!

We wholeheartedly respect any desire for anonymity!

DISCLAIMER - we are not Financial Advisors - all your decisions are your own!

The Simple Path to Wealth

by Jim Collins. If you've never heard of him, then I suggest you start with his blog. Later, he tidied it up and you can now buy it on Amazon.

Investing

Get Rich Slowly with Moneyfarm - passive, low-cost investing!

The original passive index fund came to the UK! Vanguard UK

Vanguard don't operate a referral programme, but safe to say - it's where our next ISA will reside. It would be now if the clever folks at Moneyfarm hadn't enticed us with a great offer just days before Vanguard announced their plans for Blighty's fine investors!
