Welcome to a new week and a new theme here on the One Minute Retirement Tip! 

This week’s theme is What To Do Before You Retire In 2021. 

When you’re contemplating retirement, especially in the next year or two, there are a few must-do checklist items you need to tick off before you collect your gold watch and pack up your office space. Nobody gets a gold watch anymore, right? These days I think it’s just some cake and an Amazon gift card and a don’t let the door hit ya on the way out after 20 years of faithful service.

If you’re planning to retire in 2021, it would be foolish to not do a few key things before you retire - some examples include beefing up your emergency savings, estimating health care costs, calculating your spending, deciding if you’ll work part time, updating your will, and eliminating debt - these are just a few important things you’ll want to do before retirement. 

But if you are already feeling overwhelmed by all the things you should do, take heart because this week, I’m going to focus on just a handful of items that I consider must-dos. These are the things that if done right will set you up for success in retirement, and if done wrong could costs you hundreds of thousands of dollars or worse, lead to you running out of money in retirement.  

So this week, I’ll cover 5 must-do items to help prepare you for a smooth transition into retirement, helping to ensure that your money lasts in retirement and you spend your retirement years in comfort, and not broke. 

That’s it for today, but before you go...If you haven’t already left a review for the One Minute Retirement Tip, please consider leaving an honest review in Amazon or Apple Podcasts. I read them all, so feel free to leave any feedback or topic suggestions there too. 

Thanks for listening. My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
