What is a Longevity Plan, and how does it work?

Once we realised that we could understand what the stages in life might be for people, we began to drill down into what the implications were for that.

Because once you get a sense of the stages, you’re really getting into, “Well, what will I really do about it?”

So people wanted to know what they should do and we developed what we call the Longevity Plan. It’s not a financial plan, doesn’t give you investment advice.

It’s about you and preparing you to have the sort of discussions you need with professionals in a way that you come from understanding yourself better. So you can, if you like, negotiate and understand in a much more informed way.

So the Longevity Plan takes the SHAPE results and the stages and a lot of other information and says, “This is you, this is how you appear on the strength of the information you’ve given us.”

Then we move into, “Well, what should you do about this? What will you do on the strength of knowing to try and make the best of the rest of your life?”

One of the first steps is that we say, “Sort out for health things because they’re obviously important. They can make a significant difference.” The answers you’ve given the analyser, your diet and your exercise and your relationships and all these things can have a significant effect on the outcome that you’re looking for.

So get those things into a good state for yourself. Maybe a doctor, maybe a physiotherapist, maybe other people that you’d turn to and say, “Look, I’m expecting to live roughly like this. It’s about this long. It looks a bit like this. What do you see I should do to change this or to make the best of it?”
