"A HAPPY RETIREMENT BEGINS WITH THE RIGHT PLANNING"
Discover how you can live the Best Years of Your Life!
Anything in life that is worth achieving requires careful planning. The same goes for a happy retirement. It is never too early to start planning for your golden years. And for those already retired, better late than never, if you want to make retirement the best years of your life.
Most people believe that good health and financial security are the only prerequisites for a happy retirement. Not so. We may enjoy robust health and have more than sufficient in our nest egg, yet we may find little meaning in life. There is much more to a happy retirement than good health and wealth, as billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates will tell you.
In this 2-day "
LIVE YOUR BEST YEARS" workshop, participants will learn about the 7 Pillars of Successful Retirement - Good Health, Financial Security, Social Connections, Self-Empowerment, Lifelong Learning, Spirituality and Volunteerism.
We have invited the best speakers to share with you their vast knowledge and experience in their field of specialty. Check out their impressive profiles below.
We have also prepared workshop materials to guide you in planning for your eventual part-time or full-time retirement. Participants with their own home-based businesses will have a section to promote their products and services. This is free of charge. However, conditions do apply. Please contact Lily at 012-306 8291 if you are interested.
Two networking lunches will be provided for you to meet up with past event participants as well as new ones. An excellent opportunity to widen your social network! So remember to bring your name cards.
But most important of all is the aim of this workshop. It is specially organized to help those aged 45+ to prepare for a happy and fulfilling retirement in the not too distant future. We will all get there some day, and the best time to make plans is NOW to ensure we will enjoy good health, have sufficient funds to maintain a comfortable lifestyle, and remain active and productive in our later years. This is what
REAL retirement planning is all about.
To quote Shakespeare,
"The best is yet to come".
Do register early to ensure a seat.

Seniorsaloud Community - A COMMUNITY FOR SENIORS BY SENIORS
What started off in May 2008 as a community blog, called SeniorsAloud, for older Malaysians to share their views and experiences in life, has now expanded into an offline community of senior citizens eager to network and empower themselves through lifelong learning and community involvement.
Seniorsaloud’s mission is to help empower older adults with the knowledge and skills to face the challenges of the retirement years. We aim to make lifelong learning available, accessible and affordable to senior citizens. The end goal is to enable them to enjoy their golden years confident in the knowledge that not only are they physically fit and financially secure, but also mentally sharp and still able to contribute to society.
Since January 2012, Seniorsaloud has successfully organized a series of seminars as well as participated in several community events. These include:
“How to grow your golden nest egg”
“Social Media for Seniors”
“Retire Healthy and Happy”
“Retirement Living”
“Smart Money Management for Seniors”
“Improving Public Transport for Senior Citizens”
“Social Media for Business Marketing and Networking”
Proceeds from Seniorsaloud events go towards helping less fortunate senior citizens in need of basic provisions or financial aid.
Traffic to Seniorsaloud community blog is growing rapidly, thanks to our expanding network of friends and supporters, including those who have attended our events. In 2012 it was nominated by US-based
Senior Homes for the award of ‘Best Seniors Living Blog by Organizations’ for providing valuable resources to the senior living community
The latest seniors-related articles and news are posted on Seniorsaloud to share with the community. It has become a popular resource site for researchers and organizations seeking information about senior living and aged care. The blog has an archive of over 750 posts. It stays relevant and current with an average of 2-3 new posts a week.
Seniorsaloud has been featured in
The Star, The New Straits Times, The Malay Mail, and
The Sun, as well as in magazines including
Personal Money, Passage, Asian Beacon and the Singapore edition of
