25.01.2022 I think this is a great reason to brave the weather and visit the Silk Bespoke Days at Silk on Racecourse this weekend. I may be a little biased! It will be great to see you there - Megan

24.01.2022 Are we likely to see people living to 150? Possibly not, but the good news is that we're becoming healthier in our older age - which is good news for being able to do the things you dream of in retirement! https://www.sbs.com.au/news/is-it-possible-to-live-to-150

24.01.2022 Thank you to all of you who recently participated in our Transitioning to Retirement interviews. The insights, reflections and advice you generously shared have been invaluable. I look forward to sharing snippets and weaving them into blogs and other resources as I think so many people will benefit from them as they prepare for retirement. Watch this space!

23.01.2022 Generation Unretired. What do you think and what has been your experience? https://www.perthnow.com.au//why-failed-retirees-are-stagi

23.01.2022 A great article about retirement transition planning and the importance of planning for the different scenarios in which it can come about - voluntary or non-voluntary. Have you got a plan? https://www.intheblack.com///judging-right-time-retirement

23.01.2022 Thinking about resizing rather than downsizing (because you recognise that the retirement transition is about a new quality of life, not about compromising)? I'd love to see you at the Silk Bespoke Days! Visit their page to find out more.

23.01.2022 I was thrilled to be interviewed for the SBS Australia VIVA podcast recently and now here is another fantastic initiative from SBS helping to connect older multicultural communities. https://www.sbs.com.au//speak-my-language-radio-program-to

23.01.2022 Have the conversation and start it early!

21.01.2022 Do you need to get away from the need to be 'busy' all the time - often it's challenge in retirement as much as when one was working. https://retirementstyle.com/how-to-avoid-the-trap-of-retir/

20.01.2022 "It may be valuable to think about encore careers. Its the career after your first one(s), the one that you hope to retire from early. Its one where personal meaning and impact matter more than income" Great reflections on purpose in retirement from an 'early retiree' https://ournextlife.com/2016/10/19/jim-wang-lessons/

19.01.2022 Come on down to the Silk on Racecourse Bespoke Day this morning. We're on the corner of Racecourse Rs and Beatrice St. Meet the team and join me for a Resizing Workshop at 10.15. The coffee is great and there are delicious pastries awaiting you!

19.01.2022 I love this concept - resizing rather than downsizing in retirement. After working long and hard, retirement is the time to enjoy the fruits of your labour. For many they don't want to compromise on style or quality, nor should they have to.

18.01.2022 It's only a couple of days until the end of financial year. If you know that you need to get on top of your retirement planning but you're not convinced about how a financial planner might be able to help you, have a read of this article. Key tip - never assume it's too late to make a difference. http://www.megangiles.com//4-myths-about-financial-planner

17.01.2022 Research shows that spending time outdoors in green spaces is good for your health, particularly as you age. It encourages physical activity, social connection and is a great stress buster. Where is your favourite place to get away from it all? https://www.news.com.au///2c2e0021d5a76b2547eb876f6f583049

17.01.2022 Great advice from Queensland Health for maintaining your sense of wellbeing in retirement. https://www.health.qld.gov.au//mental-health-retirement-ol

17.01.2022 Have you spoken with your parents about retirement? Do you know what their plans are and how ready they are? http://www.megangiles.com//mum-and-dad-retiring-conversati

17.01.2022 Are you and your significant other on the same page when it comes to your plans for retirement?

16.01.2022 I'm thrilled to be a part of Silk Bespoke Days and to be speaking about resizing, rather than downsizing, and creating a new quality of life. I'd love to see you there! Megan

16.01.2022 I was thrilled to contribute to the fantastic SBS Australia podcast VIVA in exploring ways to thrive after 50. This episode shares the experiences of two people, their challenges and how they found purpose. The best part - it's available in multiple languages and so no one misses out! Enjoy! https://www.sbs.com.au//2018/06/22/viva-finding-new-ways-t

11.01.2022 Today, 8 August, is Dying to Know Day. Is there an important conversation you need to have with your loved ones? Do they know what your wishes are for when you approach the end of your life? Have the conversation now - the last thing you want to have to do is broach this topic when you or your loved one is unwell, perhaps in hospital, and feeling vulnerable. https://www.google.com.au//the-conversation-we-should-all-

09.01.2022 One of the things you will commonly hear me say is that the people retiring today tend to be active, health and have a 'whole lotta living to do'. As such, it's great to see this movement underway. https://www.australianageingagenda.com.au//grassroots-mov/

03.01.2022 My sense is that this article is quite accurate. Flexibility in schedule is a key factor in keeping older people in the workforce. Its not more training... https://mobile.abc.net.au//retraining-wont-keep-/11720482

03.01.2022 Definitely worth reading. Powerful retiree insights shared with Michael Longhurst. http://www.abc.net.au//stories-about-retirement-an/9898366

01.01.2022 It's that time of year - the silly season is upon us. I've published this article previously, but it seemed to resonate with a lot of people and so I'm publishing it again!
