What would retiring by 50 look like for you? Whatever point you're at in your career, if you're a Rich Life Revolution follower, you've probably thought about retirement. If you've ever daydreamed about departing your occupation before age 65, this episode is for you!

Dalene Higgins is a financial coach for Gen Xers. She's also the first successful student of her process designed to help people retire at 50. Her story doesn't involve an inheritance or lottery windfall. Rather, she relied on a clear budget—what we like to call a conscious spending plan around here—to reach her goal. Now, she helps women and couples over 40 figure out how they can do the same. Her conversation with Michelle is packed with helpful insights for every working adult, wherever they are in their career journey.

Learn from Dalene's own experience and her no-nonsense future-planning process:

• Specifics for creating the budget or conscious spending plan that works for you
• How to think about balancing your current and future enjoyment
• Why you need to get really clear on what you want your retirement to look like
• The many different types of "retirement" you can choose from
