When you are ready t retire, y need t remember one important thing that is you will not have any active income source. When you do not have an active income source, you need some sort of funds to pay your bull. Therefore, before you retire make sure you either receive retirement benefits from your employer or build your own retirement savings. Having a house can help you after your retirement because you don't have to pay rent and you can still make an additional income by renting your house. You should also pay your all outstanding loans before you retire.

With no exception of none, I totally agree with the stated factors above.
As a worker, you have to be aware of the financial challenges ahahed of you when preparing for retirement and one of these financial challenges is the challenge of high debt level.
You have to handle your debt during your working days and make sure the High interest debts are been cleared. Though, for the low interest debts, you can pay that off after your retirement but it's advised to pey off both the high and low interest debt before your retirement, in order to have the best retirement days.
