My Life: Planning My Retirement and Managing

two comprehensive, extremely user-friendly,
cost-effective self-study programs,
which help participants consider
all the lifestyle aspects related
to retirement or semi-retirement. Both
programs help participants develop
a much greater awareness of what
to expect in retirement, and encourage
