In this episode of The FI Guys podcast, Chris and Dom dive into the philosophy of financial independence and the power of intentional spending. Instead of letting possessions or job titles define you, the guys challenge you to ask the big question: “Who are you really—what you have, what you do, or who you are?”
They explore how tying your self-worth to fragile things like wealth or status can lead to an identity crisis, and why diversifying your identity is essential for personal growth and authentic living, from goal setting that reflects your true values—not society’s expectations—to learning how to celebrate small wins along the path.
The episode wraps up with a powerful listener feedback story about overcoming debt and the role of community support in building confidence and resilience.
