Life After Enough is a podcast about money, meaning and the life you design when work becomes optional. If you're pursuing FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and starting to wonder what actually comes next - this is the show for you.
I'm Nic, a corporate lawyer in the final stretch toward early retirement, designing what comes after in real time. I've quit a career before, run out of money, started over, and I'm now navigating the messy transition from financial independence to a life built on purpose, not just a paycheque.
This isn't another podcast about how to save more or retire faster. This is about what happens when the money problem is solved and the harder questions begin: Who are you without your job? What does enough actually mean? And what do you do with a free Tuesday?
Each episode covers the psychology, identity shifts and real decisions behind financial independence - from Coast FIRE and the "one more year" trap to parenthood, purpose and reinvention. I also sit down with people who've stepped off the hamster wheel and built lives on their own terms.
Whether you're deep into your FIRE journey, coast FIRE curious, or just starting to question the default life script - pull up a chair.
Nothing in this podcast is or is intended to be financial advice.
