It’s encouraging to see that more and more people approaching retirement, or experiencing its early years, are realising that they have to think about more than just organising their money. Lifestyle issues are equally, if not more important.
Paul McKeon, the founder of this web site, was recently invited to address a large group of retired women in Coffs Harbour to talk about the various challenges and opportunities that they are likely to be dealing with. He has given similar talks last year to a number of groups.
As well as these presentations, he is spreading this message through syndicated newspaper columns which appear in Regional newspapers in NSW.
Some of the more innovative superannuation funds have realised the importance of lifestyle issues in retirement and are starting to use our books as a way of informing their members about the realities of life after they leave their career.
