Get Help. Planning for Retirement – LaterLife Financial Education.
Course Content
Knowing when to retire can be a very personal challenge, especially if you hope to have 20-30 years of active life ahead of you. But planning for retirement doesn’t have to be a taxing time, it could be a huge opportunity instead.
Whatever you plan to do with your new found time once you retire, no longer having a “work” structure throughout the day can be a perplexing change. Whatever your aspirations are, filling up to 50 hours a week for a long period of time is no easy task. Especially if you don’t really know what you want to do, or how much income you’ll have to do it with.
The LaterLife online course is designed to help you think seriously about all aspects of your retirement in a structured way. It’ll help increase the chances of enjoying and making the most of this exciting time, whilst avoiding some common pitfalls.
And, if you haven’t decided when to retire yet, it will help you weigh up your options to decide when is right for you.
Based on LaterLife’s face to face workshops, the on-line course covers both lifestyle and financial aspects of retirement planning.
Whether retirement is imminent or many years away, the course provides different paths and levels of detail so you can make the course what you need it to be. It’ll get you asking questions of yourself that perhaps you hadn’t thought about before.
