What to expect

Bloomsbury presents When We're 64 written and read by Louise Ansari.

The essential guide to making sure you have a fabulous later life.

You’re likely to live longer than you think. Today’s fifty-year olds could have an astounding 36 or more years of life. What’s your dream life for your later years?

When We’re 64 is a friendly, practical guide to preparing for what could be the best years of your life – from the essentials on work and how to fund retirement, to volunteering, where to live and what kind of housing you’ll need. It covers how to stay healthy – and still live a full life if you get a health condition – and reveals how your attitude to ageing could actually increase your lifespan. There are sections on relationships with family and friends, as well as caring for older relatives and how to tackle loneliness.

Packed with expert advice and new evidence and tips on how to age well, this route map will help you plan and prepare for the future.
