Want to know how to plan for retirement and live healthy?

The topics will be the focus of a keynote address by Cindy Trimm at tomorrow's 50+ Lifestyle Expo.

When people haven't planned for retirement there is fear surrounding a time in their lives that should be enjoyable, she said.

"Most people have not planned for this state.

"And even as we talk about 50-plus there are a whole pile of people in this world that actually started their businesses after 50."

Bermudian Dr. Trimm is the head of Cindy Trimm International in Atlanta, Georgia.

She works as an empowerment specialist, is the author of several books and has been honoured by organisation here and abroad for her work.

"It's funny when I was asked [to be the keynote speaker], of course I agreed, but for every one engagement there is another ten that I have to say no to," she said.

"So I was so proud and happy to be invited back to my Country."

She continued: "[People over the age of 50] can be considered amongst those that are changing the world we have wisdom, we have experience, and we should be looking at making a difference and leaving a legacy behind for the next generation."

Strategy is an important part of moving towards retirement, Dr. Trimm added.

"Are you living with a strategy? Because you cannot go from day-to-day without a strategy. Most people's strategies are obsolete, they no longer work. Your strategy helps you to deal with life, crisis, problems.

"We really need to have a strategic plan for the next 50 years of our lives."

Dr. Trimm will speak at CedarBridge Academy at 11.30 a.m.
