Welcome back everyone to our very first Radio COTA Podcast for 2018, we’ve called it, “Resolving The New Year”. Every time a New Year rolls around, many of us think about making a New Years’ Resolution or two, (or more). We usually dust off the same old standards that we wheel out every year, vowing to do the things we should be doing, promising to stop doing the things we shouldn’t be doing .. you know how it goes .. But for many, the New Year prompts us to think about Retirement. After all, it’s another year closer for those of us yet to transition into this important life-stage, and another year further into it for those of us who already have. In this weeks’ Radio COTA episode, we have a good hard look at what we need to be doing in preparation for what can be, quite frankly, more than a third of our lives ! We examine some of the practical and financial implications of retirement in all areas of our life, from being able to happily age in place, to affording that holiday we’ve always wanted, plus a whole lot more. Planning for retirement doesn’t have to be a painful and scary experience. We hope this weeks’ show will encourage you to at least start giving some thought to this very important issue if you haven’t already begun the process. If you have, good for you ! .. Have a listen all the same, you might just pick up a few extra helpful ideas along the way. Once again, to our regular listeners, thanks for joining us again in 2018. And to those who might be listening for the first time, a very warm welcome to you, we hope you enjoy our show and encourage you to join us each week as we continue to strive to advance the rights, interest and futures of people as we age in Queensland ! So, make yourself a cuppa, put your feet up, and enjoy all that Radio COTA brings to you .. Please send us your feedback and suggestions, we'd love to hear from you ...
