  There is a common dream that continues to be shared by so many Australians in relation to their working lives. Across the country, so many Australians desire to work for themselves, to be self-employed.

• unexpected or forced retirement

  5 Mar 2012 | 0 Comments | reflections , career , community , family , health , life , money , wellbeing

  Up until about twenty years ago, it was common for people to join an organisation for life. At retirement, if they were lucky they collected a superannuation lump sum or pension. Those without superannuation lived on the proceeds of their savings and personal investments, and/or the government age pension. In more recent times there has been a shift in the way people retire. There are now large numbers of people for whom retirement is not a voluntary process, who instead find themselves forced to retire for a number of reasons.
