In the UK, life expectancy has increased dramatically in the last century, and with it, our need to be financially active beyond the current retirement age. But what can we do when we find ourselves retired or redundant with a reduced income or a skinny pension?

In his positive and practical new book, author, thought leader and septuagenarian, Tim Drake, sets out how we can make a new future work for us.

From enlightened thrift, to the four autonomies (Earning, Learning, Giving and Recharging) this book is a toolkit for a new set of circumstances, giving those of us who want or need to continue working, tips, tools and strategies to learn and earn beyond retirement or redundancy and bring new meaning to how we spend our days.

Tim says, “We are Generation Cherry, and we have a huge opportunity. Despite the popular narrative of doom and gloom, we have some joyful plusses. Being healthy and living longer in a more developed and interesting society is a wonderful bonus. It means we are fitting in an extra decade or so to our lives before we even begin to think about getting old.”

This brilliant new book really is an essential companion for a new era.
