The first step to a happy retirement is working out your financial plan. What assets and income do you have and what expenses will you need to cover? When\u00a0<\/span>working out your retirement finances<\/a>, you\u2019ll also need to take into account your tax liabilities. You might find it helpful to use an\u00a0<\/span>online retirement income calculator<\/a>. If the uncertainty of a global pandemic makes you anxious, think about ways you can\u00a0<\/span>protect your retirement savings<\/a>\u00a0during the coronavirus scare, such as diversifying your portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Less Work, More Play

Sign up for talks or webinars or try out a yoga or Zumba class. Websites such as Facebook and Meetup regularly post events like hiking get-togethers and online language classes. <\/p>\n

Gardening and being outside in nature are well documented for reducing stress. Research also shows that volunteering later in life can result in good mental health and well-being. What are the things you\u2019ve always wanted to do and where are places you\u2019d like to go? Can you begin your senior years writing, recording music, or making your own wine? <\/p>\n
