In a 2005 survey 87% of US citizens said they wanted to redefine the word “retirement.” For them, it’s no longer a fixed point in time, but the freedom to choose the lifestyle they want, creating balance between periods of leisure, family and friends, volunteering, education – and even work.

Rather than a time for zest and relaxation, it is now considered as a time of personal reinvention and opportunity – a new, exciting chapter in life.

What does this mean for you? There’s an overwhelming need for advice and guidance.
