If you’re married, make sure your spouse knows where all the important papers are and consider both of you making living wills so there will never be any confusion if one of you becomes incapacitated. Organization is the real key for anyone’s life to run smoothly. Consider volunteer work but choose something that you will enjoy as well as the benefit you will bring to others. Sometimes people just continue to do what they did before retirement, only with more time to give to those things.

Take advantage of the specials offered to senior citizens such as discounts for meals and special "senior citizens day" sales. Under no circumstances let anyone you don’t know talk you into letting them do

The simpler your life is the easier it will be. Emotional clutter can be as messy as physical clutter even if it’s someone else’s baggage. Don’t allow others to dump on you or upset you by constantly bringing you their problems.

Retirement can be the best time of our lives. Most of us look forward to it for many years. Now is the time to be able to relax and enjoy the things you haven’t had time to.
