The Story Behind the Handbook

The Retirement Café was dreamt up from a simple idea - to create a space where we could have real, meaningful chats about retirement. You see, retirement is a complex phase of life, and there's not a lot of easy-to-understand information out there. So, I thought, why not start The Retirement Café events? These are laid-back, live gatherings where retirees and experts can come together to delve into the many sides of retirement.

And guess what? They were a hit! So I decided to take it a step further with The Retirement Café Podcast. Now, I could share retirement planning advice and insights from an even larger group of experts and reach more would-be-retirees.

But here's the thing - the more information I shared, the more questions popped up. It turns out, the tricky part isn't just about asking questions, but knowing which ones to ask. That's when I decided to put pen to paper and write The Retirement Café Handbook.

I have had incredible support from some of the inspiring interviewees in the book, including Professor Sir Muir Gray, who features heavily and was kind enough to review the Handbook.

In fact, this book is a treasure trove of wisdom, gleaned from over 60 expert interviews and years of financial planning experience. But it's more than just a guide. It's a tribute to the power of community and shared knowledge, and how they can help you not just survive, but thrive in your retirement.

So, grab a cup of coffee and let's dive in together!
