123 Bringing joy to your retirement, with Hannah Thomson

In planning for retirement, people often have dreams about the lifestyle they want to have once retired.  Unfortunately, as we get older, our health starts to impact our ability to live the life we want to live. But what if we could prevent or defer those age-related illnesses to extend the number of years lived in good health? Hannah Thomson watched her gran deteriorate quickly after a dementia diagnosis and was struck by how little we do to try and encourage an active lifestyle for those early on in their retirement. But she found that money is often a barrier to people staying active and healthy as they age. Her gran’s deterioration was a lightbulb moment and Hannah created The Joy Club, a membership site that offers discounts on a wide variety of activities, enabling retirees to have a joyful and social retirement.
