Ten Retirement Mistakes You Can Avoid

Filed under: Retire Happy — June 26, 2008 @ 5:16 pm




Here are Ten Mistakes to Avoid.

Unfortunately I have made most of these myself and could probably ad several more. These are ten that come to mind having lived on this wonderful planet for 64 years so far. See what you think:

1. Depending on Social Security to take care of you in your old age.

2. Not maxing out your 401K when you had the chance; especially if your employer was willing to contribute to your plan.

3. Expecting your kids will take care of you

4. Not planning for Long term Care and you Final Arrangements while you are of sound mind

5. Not Taking care of your health. Even a 30 min. walk a day can do wonders. Watch your diet!

6 Negative Thinking. If you glass is always half empty no one will want to be near you and you will probably not enjoy retirement no matter what anyone has to say to help you.

7. Smoking. I watched it kill my mother. Not much fun when it catches up to you.

8. Failure to save and invest. When you clock out for you last day on the job no body cares that you did not save or plan for the next 20 years.

9. Work until to are too sick to retire. What’s the point?

10. Living a selfish life. Give and it shall be given unto you. Help others to succeed and you will never worry about having enough good things in live.
