Money and Meaning is the blog of School of Financial Freedom.

Hi! I’m Douglas Tsoi and I’m the founder of the School of Financial Freedom, which is where I teach personal finance and FIRE (financial independence, retiring early). You can read more about me here.

In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, I started a two year program to become a Franciscan spiritual director. I’m interested in the nexus between our financial independence and our inner liberation. That’s what this newsletter is about.

“The first step in financial independence is liberating your mind” - Vicki Robin, Your Money or Your Life

The newsletter is written with the approximately one thousand SOFF alumni in mind. If you haven’t taken Financial Freedom 1, it’s a really good, possibly life-changing course. In the meanwhile, hope you enjoy the newsletter. I love the feedback, so don’t be afraid to leave comments and questions.
