Retirement — How to Think About "Enough" (and What People Get Wrong) (Dalene Higgins)
Published 1 year, 6 months ago
Description
Retirement is often framed as a financial target. The real question is:
What does "enough" actually mean—and how do you define it?
My guest is Dalene Higgins, founder of Elevate Finances, who approaches retirement planning through values, not just numbers.
In this conversation, we explore:
• How people define "enough" (and where it goes wrong)
• Why financial plans often miss what actually matters
• How values shape decisions about work, time, and lifestyle
• The trade-offs behind early retirement vs continued work
• How to align money with the life you actually want
This isn't about chasing a number.
It's about understanding what the number is supposed to solve.
