Active retirement: Phone-in04 Mar 2004
The average age a woman can expect to live to is 80, a man nearly 76. So with more of us living longer than ever, how can we achieve an active retirement?

Are you currently enjoying an active retirement? What are you doing and how have you achieved it? If you belong to the quarter of women who have been failed by the pension system, is it still possible for you to succeed in creating a fulfilled retirement?

Or perhaps you're in your 20s and 30s and already thinking about how you're going to maintain a standard of living in later life.

Jenni takes your calls on the subject today.
