The Real Must-Do List Before You Grow Old

By Mavic Huber


Circulating these days are a lot of lists of things you supposedly should do before you grow old or die. While there's nothing wrong with these lists, they usually fail to include the truly essential things people should do like planning for inevitable life events like retirement and death.

The primary reason for the above-mentioned case is that engaging in such activities is certainly not as fun as travelling the world or trying some extreme sports. But devoid of fun they may be, these things should be accomplished to avoid worries later on in life. So, unless you're willing to live your golden years in misery, make sure you don't fail to tick the following off your list of must-do things.

Plan for your retirement. Don't be like most people who think that saving is the be-all and end-all of this endeavour. To live the life you want after retiring, you have to do some serious retirement planning; this entails setting goals and mapping out strategies for you to achieve your targets. Admittedly, working on this task can be stressful. But don't fret for there are retirement specialists who can help you prepare for and attain a comfortable and happy life after you retire.

Pen your will. As it is said, death is like a thief in the night; you would never know when it will come. This is why you do not need to wait until you are 50 or 80 to make a will; you can write one any time you want and just make modifications later on. Aside from matters relating to your properties, make sure your will bears your wishes about the treatment you want for certain medical situations.

Preplan your funeral with a funeral parlour in Singapore. Doing this task can make you uneasy. Yet, just like the things previously mentioned, it's something that should be done, especially since it can decrease the emotional (and financial) burden of your family. To accomplish this task, all you need to do is locate a Funeral home Singapore residents highly recommend. Then, discuss different funeral details (like preferred method of body disposal, kind of funeral service, etc.) with the director of your chosen funeral parlour Singapore. After you settle all essential details, obtain a hard copy of the plan and give it to a trusted loved one.
