Retirement for Beginners

The future is ours – let’s enjoy it! This hilarious fully illustrated book will help ease you into this strange and perplexing new stage of your life.

After all those years of routine you’re suddenly free! You’re bound to be a bit nervous – it is your first time. No more being bossed about – well, apart from by your other half, of course. No more getting up at the crack of dawn to go to work – though at your age you may have to get up at the crack of dawn anyway to use the loo. No more wage slavery – er, no more wages…

So You’re 60

Well, look at you! Congratulations! Youre 60 years young! I said CONGRATULATIONS, DEAR! YOURE 60 YEARS YOUNG!

Life may now involve going to more funerals than weddings, and your idea of multi-tasking is probably sleeping and not dribbling at the same time. But, on the bright side, you can get away with making no effort whatsoever to lose weight. And all those charities you gave to its payback time!

How to Survive Retirement

Freedom at last! But theres an awfully long time between cornflakes and cocoa, and a limit to how many sudokus you can do. You need survival skills:

• FINANCIAL WIZARDRY: how to get three cups of tea out of one bag.
• SPARKLING CONVERSATION: 300 different ways to discuss the weather.
• And More!

Treat it as a new job! At least you cant be made redundant. But complain regularly, otherwise everyone will be doing it.
