Well, today we’re going to be talking about 5 things that you need to do 5 years before retirement. The first thing to do when you start thinking about retirement planning is to ask;

• What lifestyle do I want in retirement?
• What are my retirement dreams?
• Do I plan on traveling the world?
• Do I want to stay in my current home?
• Do I want to move to a lower-cost state?
• What do I imagine myself doing in retirement?

One of the biggest mistakes people make when planning for their retirement is not actually thinking about what their life will be like. Some interesting studies show a big increase in depression after retiring.
As you have been very busy throughout most of your life, you can find yourself sitting at home with no real idea of what to do, as you never planned for this time.
