Why subscribe?
Subscribe to my weekly Australian and New Zealand newsletter “Epic Retirement” to receive it in your inbox every weekend. In addition, get full access to the newsletter and all free content on our website. Never miss an update. (The best stuff is only sent out by email).
And, if you’re not from Australia, sign up for your choice of our other newsletters, to suit your location and interests:
Retirement is universal — but it’s also deeply local. The systems that shape it (pensions, healthcare, housing, tax) are totally different depending on where you live.
That’s why I’ve created region-specific newsletters to give you the right info for your world.

👉 North America + Rest of World: na.epicretirement.net
👉 Australia + NZ: au.epicretirement.net
And for those of you in your Prime Time (not quite retired but embracing midlife to the fullest), there’s a global newsletter just for you: primetimers.net

Bec Wilson is one of Australia’s leading voices on modern retirement and midlife ageing—and her work is now resonating well beyond Australian shores.
She’s the bestselling author of How to Have an Epic Retirement, the #1 retirement book in 2023, 2024 and 2025, based on nationwide retail sales. Her newest book, Prime Time: 27 Lessons for the New Midlife, is written for those in their 40s, 50s and 60s who don’t necessarily want to “retire” but do want to design their next chapter with purpose.
Bec also hosts the popular podcast Prime Time with Bec Wilson, a smart and grounded guide to navigating the juicy, possibility-filled years before and after retirement. She runs the flagship How to Have an Epic Retirement course (yes, it’s especially for Aussies at the moment - but that will change with time!) and delivers retirement education for companies, super funds, and communities nationwide. You might also hear her regularly on ABC and Nine radio, helping Australians build real confidence about their future.
She writes a weekly finance column syndicated across The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times and WA Today, reaching tens or even hundreds of thousands of readers. And her regular, free newsletters now span the globe but offer locally relevant information for each region:
Australia/New Zealand: au.epicretirement.net
North America and Rest of World: na.epicretirement.net
Bec also runs The Epic Retirement Club, one of the most vibrant Facebook communities of pre-retirees and retirees in the world — a place for real talk, good ideas, and big plans with about 600,000 members and growing.
Bec has a long history serving over-60s online. You can read all about it on her website here.
Bec’s also a mother of three nearly adult children (plus two noisy and cuddly shih tzu poodles!), loves to travel, is in her own Prime Time, and is dreaming of her epic retirement – one day!
