RETIREMENT EXPERIENCE WORKSHOPS

Lady laughingIn June Laterlife is holding the first 'Experience Workshop' for those people that have attended a Laterlife Pre-retirement Workshop and are now retired.

This will be a relaxed and enjoyable day with an opportunity to share  retirement experiences, hear how others have tackled theirs and give a further impetus to making the most of retirement.

If you attended one of our workshops and haven't received an invitation to the Experience Workshop then please email matt@laterlife.com and we'll send you the details.
 


ARE YOU RETIRED?

YES

Man smilingIf you are, are you loving it, hating it, or is it just OK?

We know that everyone approaches and experiences retirement differently, from those who love it at one extreme, to those that hate it at the other.

We would love to hear your views and retirement experiences in our short survey and we'll share the overall results (anonymised) with you.

Just click on retirement survey

NO

If you aren't yet retired, are you looking forward to it, can't wait, or concerned about what it will mean and how you will spend your time?

We would love to hear your views and hopes and concerns in our short pre-retirement survey. We'll share the overall results (anonymised) with you
