This page is for people getting close to retirement.
See Financial Planning if you are just starting to save.

It could go under several categories.

  • Health (Physical and Mental)- Health concerns become more important as we age.
  • Financial
  • Society
  • Places
  • Recreation
  • Travel
The choice for finance is somewhat arbitrary.

The bigest mistakes people make in retirement planning are:

  1. Assuming you will downsize and spend less.
    Many retirement planning books use 80% of your working income as what you'll need in retirement. Many people find they need just as much or more in retirement.
    See Retirement for more on financial issues.
