Have a loved one who is close to retirement? Looking for the perfect gift? Help them discover the many pleasures of retirement and alleviate any anxiety with a new book, End of the Retirement Age, written by retirement expert David Kennedy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An author, consultant, and owner of retirement planning firm Hillross Pacific Advisory, Mr Kennedy said there is nothing to fear in retirement, which presents people with new opportunities as one of life\u2019s many transitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cSociety focuses disproportionately on planning for the financial aspects of retirement, and while this is extremely important, it\u2019s just as critical to plan for the non-financial elements of retirement,\u201d Mr Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney is a means to an end, but it is not an end in itself. Thinking through your purpose, reflecting on the activities from which you will derive meaning, giving consideration to how you will spend your time, and the type of goals you will pursue, will go a long way towards ensuring you thrive as you grow older.\u201d<\/p>\n

Designed to empower soon-to-be and existing retirees to take control of their futures \u2013 financially, physically, socially, and mentally \u2013 End of the Retirement Age shares the inspirational stories of retirees and experts to show the colourful ways Australians are redefining ageing.<\/p>\n

From fundraising to skydiving to worldwide travel, their stories provide inspiration and motivation to help people plan their own unique futures.<\/p>\n

Mr Kennedy highlights the many benefits to individuals and society where more older Australians ease into retirement by cutting back their hours, while making room in their lives for other meaningful activities.<\/p>\n

End of the Retirement Age, RRP $29.95, is available from endoftheretirementage.com or via Amazon, Angus & Robertson and Booktopia.<\/p>\n
