概要

 In this episode of the Fit Rich Life Podcast, I sit down with Rusty (an anonymous guest) — a former Big Law attorney who reached financial independence at 36 and completely redesigned his life. Rusty opens up about the dark period that pushed him to reevaluate everything, from career pressure to the deeper emotional struggles he had been avoiding for years. We talk about how discovering the FIRE movement gave him a financial path out, but real freedom came from doing the inner work — therapy, boundaries, and rebuilding his identity beyond achievement. Rusty shares what it took to go from burned out and unhappy to physically fit, mentally grounded, and financially secure. We also dive into advanced wealth strategies like "buy, borrow, die," how high earners can think differently about taxes and leverage, and the practical habits that support long-term health and happiness. This is a powerful conversation about reclaiming control of your money, your mind, and your life.
