Marcel's blog
on all things RETIREMENT!

Welcome to my blog where I reflect on life before, during, and after retirement, including the emotional and financial aspects of retirement - the joys, the challenges and the unexpected turns. I also write about health (including my own), how to prepare for life’s final chapters, and the financial realities of ageing.

The logo and slogan of the blog refers to the need to be properly prepared for retirement, and to have your affairs in order when your time arrives. There's a checklist included to assist you to get your ducks in a row as well as a checklist to assist those left behind through the tough times ahead.

My hope is to share lessons learned, spark conversations, and perhaps help others feel less alone on this journey. Whether you’re approaching retirement, already in it, or simply wondering how to make the most of your later years, you are welcome here. And remember: 

Before you go, get your ducks in a row!
