r/financialindependence
Financial Independence / Retire Early
Founded November 2011 · Public — anyone can post
This is a place for people who are or want to become Financially Independent (FI), which means not having to work for money. Financial Independence is closely related to the concept of Early Retirement/Retiring Early (RE) - quitting your job/career and pursuing other activities with your time. At its core, FI/RE is about maximizing your savings rate (through less spending and/or higher income) to achieve FI and have the freedom to RE as fast as possible.

How active is r/financialindependence?
Around 1.7 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 58.0 days. Posting rate matters more than subscriber count when you're deciding where to spend your time — it determines how long your comment stays visible.
When was r/financialindependence created?
r/financialindependence was founded in November 2011 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.
Who posts in r/financialindependence?
Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 33% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Oct 22. A low share means a feed dominated by a handful of accounts (bots, mods, or one prolific poster) rather than a community.
Can I promote my product in r/financialindependence?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/financialindependence yet. Default to the safe approach: read the sidebar rules, contribute in threads where you gain nothing, and mention your product only when it is the honest answer to someone's question.
