“Creative Retirement Planning” draws on Bernard Kelly’s 30 years of conversations with families who recognise that a man aged 65 has a probability of living to age 88, and a woman of the same age has a probability to reach age 91. Everyday concerns for the Four Pillars - Health, Family & Friends, Finances and a Zest for Living - are here interwoven into numerous stories containing wisdom and practical advice. You’ll journey along with his innovative discoveries about natural therapies, finding stimulation in later life, the advantages of moving to a college community, developing new friends and the mental and financial benefits of turning any hobby into a “profitable hobby”. You’ll share the author’s experiences of preparing for a successful retirement (whatever that means today) – including developing an urban farm on his suburban block – and how you can harvest all of that knowledge for yourself, whether you have already retired or are still in late career.
