Life After Enough is a podcast about financial independence, early retirement, and the part nobody warns you about - what you actually do once work becomes optional.
If you’re chasing financial independence retire early (FIRE) and you’ve started wondering what’s on the other side of the number, this is the show for you.
I’m Nic. Corporate lawyer in Singapore, in the final stretch before I walk away. I hit my FIRE number a couple of years ago and I’m still here working the exit in real time, for reasons that have nothing to do with money. I’ve done the dramatic version before: quit, ran out of money, came back to law on purpose. So this time I’m leaving when I’ve built enough, not when I’ve had enough and you get all the messy details as it happens.
This isn’t another show about saving harder or retiring faster. It’s about what happens when the money problem is solved and the harder questions start. Who are you without your job? What does enough actually mean? What do you do with a free Tuesday?
I’m working through it using Five Pillars of Enough: health, money, identity, relationships and purpose. I also sit down with people who’ve already left and built something real on the far side of financial freedom.
Whether you’re deep in your numbers, Coast FIRE curious, or just starting to question the default script, pull up a chair and join the journey.
Nothing in this podcast is or is intended to be financial advice.
