New Online Programs
As part of our commitment to providing high quality, independent resources for our members, National Seniors has partnered with FortyPlus to give members access to two new online education programs – the Retirement Ready Program for those preparing for retirement, and the Mid-Life Matters Program for members who want to take control of their future but are not yet approaching retirement.
Each Program is filled with engaging, practical information and steps through the important aspects of preparing for your future.
Our Members also have access to the Money Check-Up Module which shows how to take stock of your finances yourself.
You’ll also find a useful MyFile template to help you create a central resource for all your important information.
About FortyPlus
FortyPlus develops practical tools to equip people over 40 to plan ahead and make the best decisions for their future.
They recognise the need for the vast amount of retirement information to be brought together in one place and presented in a way that provides a guide for thinking ahead and planning for the future.
Most importantly, they operate independently of the financial services industry or any third party.
