How investing in Rest Less changed my life.

When I was younger, I had in my head that I wanted to retire at 50. I met Stuart Lewis and Sara Stephens when I was 46. It was 25 years since I left university.

As part of my research, I came across a book called The 100-Year Life written by Lynda Gratton and Andrew J Scott and was fortunate to attend a talk by Professor Scott run by Susie Crowder's Bright Futures LBG.

One important thing the book says is that there is no special reason for us to retire at all or at 65. We are living longer and many of us will either have to or choose to work until later.

If there was even a chance I would live a long and healthy life there was no way I would want to retire soon.

This was a huge mindset change. I was 46, may have had more than half my productive life ahead of me and knew so much more than I did at the start of that life at 21.

There was an opportunity to achieve great things if I put my mind to it.
