Her experience as a retirement scheme administrator and passion for problem solving has led her to observe that, we as human beings have similar challenges. Since many of the issues have remained the same for centuries, she feels that there is no need for every person to suffer to the same degree, and that older people should share their experiences and the valuable information they learned. With this in mind, she decided to put pen to paper, and came up with this book.
