Retirement Age

The Age of Ageing Better? takes a radically different view of what our ageing society means. Dr Anna Dixon turns the misleading and depressing narrative of burden and massive extra cost of people living longer on its head and shows how our society could thrive if we started thinking differently. This audiobook shines a spotlight on how as a society we’re currently failing to respond to the shifting age profile - and what needs to change.

Everyone looks forward to retirement, but how many people are financially prepared to retire?

You need not worry about outliving your retirement income when you can find ways to generate massive income that will last a lifetime.
