Last updated: November 2026
How much does the Preferment course cost?
Rarified Life states the Preferment investment as $3,000: eight weekly live sessions with Anne van Leynseele, the book Preferment, and the guided homework that turns reading into a plan. The free presentation that comes first costs nothing, so you can judge the approach before paying anything.
Please confirm the price at checkout
The course page’s Investment section states $3,000. The store listing on that same page currently displays $6,000.00. This site reports both as shown. Confirm the current price on the course page or ask through the contact page before you buy.
Preferment vs 1:1 retirement coaching: cost compared
According to lifecoachingcertification.net, retirement coaches typically charge $150 to $300 per session. Eight such sessions would typically total $1,200 to $2,400. At the stated $3,000, Preferment costs more per session, and it includes a book, a fixed six-module curriculum, and built-in homework that a typical session rate does not.
| Option | Published price | For 8 sessions | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preferment course | $3,000 stated on the course page | $3,000 | 8 live sessions with Anne, book, homework |
| Typical 1:1 retirement coach | $150 to $300 per session (lifecoachingcertification.net) | $1,200 to $2,400 | Varies by coach |
| Free Preferment presentation | Free | Not applicable | Training on the 5-step plan |
What changes your total cost
- Financial planning is separate. Preferment does not replace a financial advisor. If you need one, budget for it on its own.
- 1:1 coaching is not yet available from Rarified Life. It is listed as coming soon, so there is no published price for it.
- Terms and refunds. The course page does not describe a refund policy. Read the Terms of Service and ask before purchasing if it matters to you.
Who should spend this money elsewhere?
If your main question is whether you can afford to retire, start with a financial advisor. If you need fully private, tailored sessions right now, an independent 1:1 retirement coach may fit better. If you are struggling with depression, see a licensed clinician first. Preferment fits best when you want structure, a book-based curriculum, and a live group working on the same questions.

Common questions
- How much does the Preferment course cost?
- The Preferment course page states an investment of $3,000 for eight weekly live sessions with Anne, the book, and the guided homework. The store listing on that same page displays $6,000.00, so confirm the current price at checkout or through the contact page at rarifiedlife.com before you enroll.
- What does the Preferment course price include?
- The stated $3,000 investment includes eight weekly live sessions with Anne van Leynseele, the book Preferment as your companion text and workbook, and the homework built into the book. The course page does not list extra fees. Financial planning is not part of the course, so budget for that separately if you need it.
- How does the Preferment price compare with 1:1 retirement coaching?
- At the stated $3,000, Preferment works out to $375 per live session, with the book included. Lifecoachingcertification.net reports retirement coaches typically charge $150 to $300 per session, so eight 1:1 sessions would typically total $1,200 to $2,400. Preferment costs more per session but includes a fixed curriculum, the book, and built-in homework.
- Is the Preferment presentation really free?
- Yes. Rarified Life offers a free presentation for accomplished women in their 50s and 60s who are nearing or in retirement. You register on the Rarified Life registration page and watch the training. It is the recommended first step before deciding whether the paid 8-week course fits you.
- Does the Preferment course have a refund policy?
- The course page does not describe a refund policy. Rarified Life publishes Terms of Service at rarifiedlife.com/terms-6937, which is the place to check purchase terms. If refunds or cancellations matter to your decision, ask through the contact page before you buy so you have a clear answer in writing.
- Can I talk to someone before I buy the course?
- Yes. Rarified Life’s booking page offers a 40-minute Breakthrough Session that you can schedule online, and its contact page takes questions directly. Both are good places to ask about schedule, format, and whether the course fits your situation before you commit to the 8-week program.
