People spend approximately 2,200 hours every year working. According to Statistics Canada, the average life expectancy is 85 years and improving. This means that if individuals retire at ages 55, 60 or 65, on average they will have 20 to 30 years in retirement. This is a lot of time that needs to be spent in a productive way to maintain purpose, self-satisfaction and fulfilment.

Joseph views retirement not as a conclusion of life but as a continuation of life. Just as individuals prepare for their working years, they need to be prepared for retirement and be practical:

– It is important to make sure that we have a good quality of life during retirement through good physical and mental health;
– It is important to make sure that we are financially secure and have enough money to last the next 20 to 30 years in retirement; and
– It is important to make sure that our affairs are in order to take care of us and the people we leave behind.

This is where Joseph’s experience comes in. He is taking his extensive practical experience in finance, management, and corporate governance and applying it to retirement.
