Pre-Retirement Checklist: 10 Tasks to Complete
(PNJ.com) – If you want to do retirement right, you’ll need a checklist. But what tasks should be on your pre-retirement checklist? Here’s what experts had to say.

Can you afford to retire? Dead set on your retirement date? Determine whether you can afford to retire – whether you’ll have sufficient income and assets given your household’s retirement expenses and liabilities.
