At this site that I subscribe to(http://www.topretirements.com) I got this from an email.
The Worst Retirement Planning Mistakes (You Need to Avoid)
I deleted some that people who are on this forum have already addressed.
- Having no interests outside of work
- Not visiting a range of communities, not renting before you buy
- Your retirement plan is" "We'll travel a little bit and I'll work around the house"
- Retiring too soon – without having something to fill the gap (interest-wise and financially-wise)
- Continuing to live in the suburbs when there are compelling reasons in your situation to move elsewhere (financial,
- interests/activities, transportation, social, family, taxes, climate, etc.)
- Assuming your kids will entertain and take care of you as you age
- Retiring too far away from friends and family
- Moving too close to friends and family
- Moving to an area where the politics or religion is not a good fit for you
- Moving to a new town without one or more these supports: an active adult/55+ community, friends or family, an active strategy to meet new friends.
- Moving to an active adult development and find you miss the diversity of having people of all ages and interests around you
- Moving to a gated community and find you miss the normalcy of a traditional
community
Any comments on any of these?
