Hi, I’m Bec Wilson.
I’m an author, podcaster, and the principal voice behind the Epic Retirement Institute. My work is all about helping people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond create fulfilling, financially secure, and purpose-driven retirements.
I started in Australia, where my book How to Have an Epic Retirement has been the #1 retirement title for several years running. Now, thanks to demand from readers in the UK and around the world, I’m sharing these ideas more widely—through books, podcasts, courses, and this newsletter.
In Australia I’ve also released a prequel, Prime Time: 27 Lessons for the New Midlife, which has also shot into the top five books in country.
Why subscribe?
This is my fortnightly newsletter for UK readers who want a fresh, practical take on retirement. Each edition lands straight in your inbox with insights, stories, and tips to help you navigate one of life’s biggest transitions.
By subscribing, you’ll get full access to the newsletter and our free online resources. (And yes—some of the best stuff only goes out by email).
👉 If you’re in Australia or New Zealand, I also write a weekly version at au.epicretirement.net.
👉 If you’re in North America or the rest of the world I write a semi-regular newsletter at na.epicretirement.net.
What you’ll get
You’ll hear real stories from retirees and pre-retirees, plus expert perspectives on money, lifestyle, health, and purpose. My goal is to make retirement less about fear and uncertainty, and more about choice, freedom, and fulfilment.
About me
I’m the bestselling author of How to Have an Epic Retirement, and my new book Prime Time: 27 Lessons for the New Midlife takes the conversation further—for people who aren’t ready to fully retire but want to live differently in the years ahead.
I host the Prime Time podcast, write a weekly finance column syndicated across The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, and other major newspapers, and run The Epic Retirement Club—a vibrant Facebook community of more than 600,000 members.
Previously, I founded Starts at 60, Australia’s leading media and travel company for over-60s. Today, my focus is on giving people around the world the knowledge, tools, and confidence to plan retirement on their own terms.
Away from work, I’m a mum to three nearly grown-up kids (and two very noisy shih tzu-poodles), a traveller at heart, and very much in my own Prime Time.
