What if you could create your ideal retirement?

The retirement landscape is changing. We're living longer than ever before, which should be great news. But instead of grasping all the opportunities a longer retirement has to offer, many people are drifting into this stage of life ill-prepared for the amount of time they have ahead of them.

The truth is, a successful retirement won't happen by accident.

When you retire, your whole financial life essentially collapses down to one binary question: will your money outlive you, or will you outlive your money? It's a crucial question, but is financial planning alone enough to ensure you live a successful retirement?

Justin King believes not.

In The Retirement Café Handbook chartered financial planner Justin shares insights gathered from dozens of podcast interviews and 30 years of helping people retire successfully.

Cutting through the complexity of retirement planning, he guides you through a nine-step framework for creating a meaningful and fulfilling retirement. Tackling mindset, money and lifelong health, Justin provides thought-provoking research, sage advice and practical tools to allow you to create a plan to truly thrive.

This no-nonsense handbook has everything you need to take control of your life and build the retirement you've always deserved.
