Introduction
Life is full of preparation and, hopefully, fulfilment of our plans and dreams. We prepare our children to negotiate the different phases of school and academic achievement, leading on into adulthood and all those responsibilities and adventures. Amid these experiences, what is often referred to as our golden years, is frequently treated as something in the distant future. As a result, little thought is given to essential issues other than whether or not our pension is going to be adequate, or where we will live.
Retirement encompasses much more than the physical aspects; it also affects us emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. So the basic question we need to be asking ourselves is, if we are going to manage then (in our retirement) how are we going to prepare ourselves more adequately now? In this booklet I endeavour to expose some of the experiences which might come our way on this journey into retirement.
The title of this book is from a quote by Robert Browning: Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be; the last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in His hand who saith A whole I planned, youth shows but half. Trust God
