101 Best Retirement Planning Checklist Buffalo NY
The most important thing is to have a retirement plan that includes not only finances (investment plan, budget, withdrawals, SS, etc.) but also develop a good idea of what will you do in retirement, i.e. hobbies, travel, social, volunteering, part time work, etc.
Also develop a bucket list of things you want to do.
Your retirement plan may not play out exactly how you planned it but you need to think ahead and try to figure out how you will spend all that free time that you never had before.
