7 THINGS TO DO
BEFORE YOU TURN 62
Sixty-two years old is more of a milestone than it seems. When you turn 62, you’re officially old enough to claim your Social Security benefits, which means you could potentially retire. Whether you’re planning on retiring the minute you’re eligible or working for a few more years, here are seven things to do before you turn 62 — in honor of July being the seventh month, too. MAXIMIZE YOUR RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS. With retirement on the mind, why not stock away as much of your income as possible to make your golden years more comfortable? MAKE A RETIREMENT BUDGET. The average person who makes it to age 65 will live to be 84–86 years old. Get ahead of the game and put together a retirement plan budget that will make sure you have enough savings for the next 20-plus years. FIND A FUN, NEW WAY TO STAY IN SHAPE. Who wants to just sit on the couch all day in retirement? If you find fulfilling ways to get up and move, the quality of your latter years will only improve! DISCOVER A HOBBY THAT ENGAGES YOUR MIND. Take up woodworking. Solve logic puzzles. Collect coins. Learn a new language. Without your work, you’ll want to find activities that will keep your mind sharp for years to come. CONSIDER PART-TIME WORK. If you’re feeling restless, finding a job with flexible hours where you can earn a little extra income can be a good idea post-retirement. PLAN A FUN VACATION WITH FAMILY AND/OR FRIENDS. What better way to kick off your retirement than with your dream vacation? Plan it before you retire so you can go right from the office to your dream destination. CREATE OR UPDATE YOUR ESTATE PLAN. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your retirement, but if you want to ensure your family
will be taken care of in the years after you’re gone, call Littlejohn Law today to speak with an experienced estate planning attorney. Your retirement years will be more enjoyable when you know that even after you’re gone, your family will be okay.
