Next Stage In Your Retirement
Create the Life You Want

Every day, thousands of people turn sixty-five – some feel excitement, some feel scared, most feel both. While many may still work, raise children or pursue their career goals, most of these pressures are fading into the past.

People realize that they will likely live for decades longer and are starting to have serious questions. If you are in this situation, you may be asking yourself:

• What am I going to do with my time?

• Will I have enough money to enjoy my life?

• What can I do to stay healthy?

Drawing on years of research, interviews and analysis, Tom Wilson gives you what you need to address these questions, and many more. Real-life insights bring the research findings to life and the step-by-step guides help you create a Master Plan based on your needs, wants and circumstances. From finances to relationships to developing a new sense of identity, tis comprehensive guide to retirement will help you prepare for and enjoy this exciting next stage of life.
