Bliss is the result of 30 years of research and development by our team of retirement experts along with the support of eminent Psychologists and other leading authorities on retirement.
We help guide you to a positive and innovative way of thinking about the way you view, and more importantly, act during retirement. As many of us live and work longer than ever before, traditional views of retirement are based on outdated concepts and get in the way of a fulfilling work and post-work life.

It’s now time to retire retirement
Our retirement years need to be filled with activities that keep us healthy, maintain and build connections, have a purpose and intellectually challenge us. This requires planning. Our purpose is to help you create this plan.
