Welcome to The Ready For Retirement Blog

Welcome to The Ready For Retirement Blog. I plan to focus on getting my readers and myself, mentally and financially ready for retirement.

I'm a 37 year old father of two and my own father is retiring in a few months. He has always prepared financially for this time of his life by making some good investments and also by being seriously cheap. But I didn't think he would be ready mentally. What would he do with his time? How would he spend his days?

There's more to retirement than putting away enough money to live. You also need to plan how you want to live. By setting some goals and planning accordingly, I hoping for a happy retirement for my father, me and also you, my readers.
