So, it is necessary you guide against loss, unrealistic and dubious investments while preparing for the journey ahead.

“Doing a job well gives you satisfaction, a worthy, useful and accomplished feeling, but once you retire, all go away. As such, you need to discover a new purpose in life to make it meaningful.
