For happy retirement one should make a retirement planning checklist about 5 years before your retirement date.
It is important to plan the non financial aspects of retirement which will make us happy.
We should look forward for the things that we can do on an ongoing basis like travel, hobbies or a new career that give joy and structure to your life.
One should look into volunteering to interact with people and make new friends that increases the strength of his/her social network.
One should increase one's financial stability to keep their spirits up. With increasing life spans, retirement living can be a long race so one must stay active that helps us to stay positive and open to new experiences.
