Every week I meet several people who like me are retired. Best thing about being retired is that every day is like a Bank Holiday. The worst thing is that some kind of financial independence is still a pipe dream or you are financially worse off than you have been. Yours should all be done for, mortgage should be a memory and the next years are now your most important.
I suggest:-
1. Get shut of top up mortgage or any other loans. Remember, you have to do this sometime.
2. Concentrate on your physical and mental health.
3. You've reached "me" time.
4. Review life insurance.
5. Get fitter if necessary.
6. Get your savings in trim even if you cannot beat inflation. You need a Rainy Day fund.
7. Improve anything that needs doing in your home.
8. Don't delay in getting your tax affairs up to date.
9. Slow down now.
10. Drive more carefully if you're not a careful driver.
11. Give time to your family as necessary without being a "hero. "
12. Keep your passport in date.
13. Don't even think of an Afterlife loan.
14. Bring your family onside.
15. Cherish your hobbies (this doesn't mean building a light aircraft from scratch). Reading, Writing, Sport, etc.
16. Avoid any rut.
17. Clear your credit card debt every week (not every month). Use the card less and less where possible.
