1. Practice living on your estimated retirement income after business expenses.
2. Start developing some of the retirement activities you think will interest you. There are contacts to make and research to undertake whether you have in mind volunteer work, further education, a second career, or starting a business.
3. If you plan to move, learn everything you can about your prospective new home patch. It’s not likely that you will be able to move repeatedly, nor would you want to, so spend time if you can in the new neighbourhood. Talk to people who live there; keep looking for disadvantages. You already know the advantages because they are what attracted you in the first place.
4. Strengthen relationships outside the working environment – with family, friends, and neighbours.
5. Check how long it takes you to perform various activities around the house or garden; chores that you look forward to doing in retirement. You may think there are enough everyday jobs to keep you busy forever, but you’ll probably zip right through them in a few weeks and then have to start looking for something else to keep you fully occupied.
6. As important as working out a viable financial future is the planning you and your spouse/partner can do in anticipation of your retirement. Couples who have lived together in the evenings, on weekends, and during vacations for virtually all their married lives don’t necessarily find it easy, especially at first, to be together all day, every day. You and your significant other might want to talk together about seemingly minor potential irritants.
