While growing old is inevitable, not everyone is prepared for it. Not just in the sense of not being ready to give up energetic activities in exchange for brittle bones and memory (or hair) loss. But there's also another aspect that's often overlooked; the Old Age Bucket List. A list of items that need to be settled and decided before approaching retirement, or close to it.

To most people, retirement is a long-term plan in the making that is constantly being adjusted to suit the retiree's ideal lifestyle and financial needs. But to others, retirement can be a terrifying concept of losing all physical functions and having no power. To avoid difficulties, it is important to map out retirement expectations and desires long before getting old and follow a plan to reach those goals.
