Find Your Tribe: The Ultimate North American Financial Independence (FI) Meetup Directory

Achieving Financial Independence (FI) is a marathon, not a sprint—and it is a journey much better traveled with a community. Whether you are just starting your first budget or you have already crossed the “FIRE” (Financial Independence, Retire Early) finish line, connecting with like-minded individuals is the fastest way to accelerate your progress and stay motivated.

The BP Money FI Meetup Hub is a comprehensive, interactive platform designed to connect the North American FI community. Our tool tracks upcoming gatherings, coffee chats, and deep-dive seminars across the United States and Canada, ensuring you never have to walk the path to wealth alone.

Why Attend a Financial Independence Meetup?

In a world that often prioritizes consumerism, finding people who understand the value of a high savings rate and index fund investing can be life-changing.

  • Peer-to-Peer Networking: Share strategies on tax optimization, real estate syndication, and frugal living with people who “get it.”
  • Local Market Insights: Meetups are the best place to find local real estate “deals” or learn about region-specific investment opportunities.
  • Accountability: Staying on track for a 10 or 20-year plan is easier when you have a local group cheering you on.
  • Diverse Perspectives: From “Lean FIRE” enthusiasts to “Fat FIRE” real estate moguls, our meetups bring together a diverse range of wealth-building philosophies.
