9 Point Checklist to Prepare for Retirement

5) Network

You may have just entered into retirement or are preparing to, but do not stop building and maintaining your networks. Networks are a great way to showcase your talents, and it is perfectly fine to brag to those who might help fulfill your retirement dreams. It is key to include a networking strategy in your retirement plan. This can range from spending an hour on Twitter talking to people who share your interests and skills, setting up a page on Facebook for others to get connected with you, or even meeting up with a group to discuss ideas with other people planning for retirement. Simple strategies like these will help build relationships that can also build your network up. It can be easy to say no to being social, but get out of your comfort zone and you will soon see the pros of having done so.
