Those of us in midlife are facing a dilemma: We are going through a period of multiple life-altering changes all at the same time - at work, at home and within. More of us are being made redundant than ever before, just when we need it the least. More of us are becoming self-employed. More of us are experiencing losses of status and crises of self-confidence - and that was before COVID-19! Our relationships with our partners, our parents and our children are all entering new phases. Meanwhile, half of us are also going through the menopause. Yet we are healthier and more vibrant than previous generations - and we are living longer. Much longer. We are 50 years young, not 50 years old. But more importantly, we don't know where or who to turn to for help.

From dealing with seemingly ubiquitous ageism and starting your own business to building resilience, finding a financial adviser you can trust and learning from professional athletes who are forced to 'retire' in their early thirties, the Macphersons show that your 'Part Two' isn't about retirement or ageing; it's about change and how you turn it to your advantage. You: Part Two is the must-read guide to thriving in the second half of your life.

A contrarian and controversial look at personal finance, and a super simple strategy for making--and keeping--more money

Traditional financial wisdom persuades us to grow our net worth and build our assets. But traditional financial wisdom is often wrong. In "Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots: The Simplest Personal Finance Strategy You'll Ever See," author and Chartered Accountant David Trahair challenges everything we think we know about managing our money, suggesting that that we follow the lead of the financial institutions that are leading us down the path to financial ruin.

The banks, brokers, and investment companies of the world make enormous sums of money because they know that cash is king and they know how to guarantee cash flow from their clients on a continual basis. They aren't making the bulk of their money from investing in the stock market--they're leeching it from regular people like you, every minute of every day. "Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots" turns the tables, showing that the biggest cash cow we have is ourselves. Instead of chasing a dream that will never come true, it presents a financial plan so simple even a 10-year-old could understand it.Explains why the common consensus about making money is inherently flawedPresents an incredibly simple, easy-to-follow plan for really making and saving moneyExposes the dangers of trusting money to a bank or broker

Helping you break asset addiction, get out of debt, and increase your personal cash flow--and your wealth with it, "Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots" explains how bringing more cash into your life and watching carefully where it goes will allow you to save more, live the life you want, and avoid as much risk as possible--a great strategy going into the stormy financial years to come

The Transition to Retirement (TTR) program aims to help older people with long-term disability gradually build an active and socially inclusive retirement lifestyle through volunteering and participating in mainstream community groups. Members of these groups are trained to act as mentors and provide support. The three-year TTR research project and subsequent years of TTR service delivery have shown that this approach is feasible and has enduring positive outcomes for people with disability, mentors and community groups.The TTR manual and video material aim to make these benefits available more widely. They provide implementation details for all components of the TTR program, as well as practical tips and accounts of individual participant's experiences. DVD stories and video clips illustrate key issues. Planning forms are also included, together with an explanation of the process of teaching a person with long-term disability to use public transport independently. The TTR program is consistent with Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which focuses on building community participation and independence, and with the National Disability Strategy's emphasis on promoting social inclusion in community settings.
