From Bec Wilson, hit podcast host and bestselling author of How to Have an Epic Retirement, comes the ultimate guide to modern midlife. We're now living longer, saving smarter, working more flexibly, and seeking meaning at every turn. In 27 practical lessons, let Bec guide you on everything you need to know to make your Prime Time count.

The period from your late 40s well into your 70s is what Bec calls your 'Prime Time'. These years can be some of the best of your lifeβ€”if you make the right choices. Far from winding down, this is the time to truly live.

In this essential handbook, Bec guides you through the key pillars of power, money, health, work, purpose, happiness, family, and travel. This isn't just about adjusting to a longer lifespanβ€”it's about creating a richer, more fulfilling life.

Prime Time: 27 Lessons for the New Midlife isn't just a roadmap to retirementβ€”it's a playbook for a life lived with intention, energy, joy, and financial confidence. With Bec Wilson as your guide, you can embrace this incredible stage and truly make the most of your Prime Time.

Money takes centre stage in this guide, with strategies that go beyond the basics. Learn how to make the most of superannuation, invest with purpose, maximise compounding and franking credits, understand spending and layering of income, and how to leverage tax concessions. Beyond simply reaching 'enough to retire', Bec shows you how to build flexible financial foundations that will allow you to enjoy these years to the fullest.

Along with the financial foundations, this guide is packed with insights for building purpose and joy into every day, with practical advice for extending or reshaping your career, crafting a purpose-driven 'second act', creating work-life flexibility, strengthening family ties, and looking after your changing body.
