Join us for an afternoon of expert insight into retirement, downsizing and the decisions that define what comes next.
+ Your chance to win a luxury Hunter Valley escape!
Principle Living is bringing together some of Australia’s leading voices in finance and retirement living for a free afternoon dedicated to one of the most important decisions you’ll make.
We believe downsizing is something you can choose and when done well it is a confident choice, at your pace and on your own terms allowing you to create space for what matters most.
Crafting your retirement is an event designed to help you move forward with clarity and without compromise.
You’ll hear from Michael Pascoe, one of Australia’s most respected finance and economics commentators, alongside Angelique Perak, Director of Studio Duo Architecture & Interiors specialist in design that supports longevity and ageing in place.
Together, they’ll guide you through the key considerations from financial confidence to future-proof design so you can make your next move feeling informed, assured and excited about what’s ahead.

With five decades in journalism, Michael Pascoe is one of Australia's most experienced and thoughtful finance and economics commentators, recognised by his peers with the Peter Ruehl Award for Outstanding Columnist at the 2022 Kennedy Awards.
In August 2022 he added another line to his CV – author – with the successful launch of The Summertime of Our Dreams. It's not about economics or politics – well, maybe just a few paragraphs in passing.
Michael's career has ranged from The Courier-Mail and South China Morning Post to the Australian Financial Review and Sydney Morning Herald, from Macquarie Radio to Channels 9, 7 and Sky.

She has over 30 years’ experience in residential design, specialising in thoughtful, client-focused homes and bringing a considered perspective on right-sizing and designing for longevity.
