Have you planned for the life that comes after the success you worked so hard to build?
By mid-life, many people have already reached the version of success they once imagined.
The house. The career. The family. The savings. The independence.
But what happens next?
How to Be a Successful Ninety-Year-Old is not a book about getting older as much as it is a book about preparing to live well for as long as life allows. Marguerite Lorenz, a Professional Trustee and Executor, draws from real client experiences to show what successful aging actually looks like when health, independence, family, money, care, and personal wishes begin to overlap.
This book asks a different kind of question:
Not just, "How long can I live?"
But, "How do I want to live when I can no longer do everything on my own?"
Through story chapters, reflective exercises, and practical planning guidance, Lorenz helps readers think honestly about quality of life, unfinished business, estate planning, care preferences, professional support, and the emotional realities of later life.
Inside, readers will explore:
- What Success Really Means
- Thinking from the End
- Why Your Estate Plan Matters
- Defining Your Quality of Life
- Why You Need to Get Your Plan Written Now
This is a book for adults in mid-life and beyond, for loved ones of aging parents, and for anyone who wants to plan with more honesty, dignity, and courage.
A successful later life does not happen by accident.
