Happy Monday! Each week, your inbox will be filled with a dose of financial independence blog posts, podcasts, news and events from Australia and beyond. (Check out previous editions here).
I’m Michelle, a mid-30s Australian on the path to financial independence. I blog about my journey at FrugalityandFreedom.com, with themes of budget travel, mini-retirements, frugal hacks, minimalism, sustainability, and alternative careers.
The Aussie FI community is growing! Each week, more bloggers and podcasters are adding their voices to the financial independence and retire early movement. Conversations are booming in communities like the FI Australia Reddit and FI groups on Facebook. As they say on the ChooseFI podcast: The FIRE is spreading!
Have you read any great Australian links recently? Found any new writers or podcasters you’d like to see featured here? Get in touch!
PS. I’m excited to be at FinCon this week in Washington DC, along with 2000+ finance content creators. I’m hosting the Aussies @ FinCon meetup on Thu 5 Sep 5.15pm. RSVP here.
