Work Hard Even in Retirement

21 Sep 2020

As many reach mature age, retirement can seem like a wonderful gift. However, a study by the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found that working longer may increase your lifespan. Individuals who worked one year past their planned retirement had about a 10% reduced risk of dying regardless of health conditions.

I soundly believe waking up with a daily work agenda has helped me reach my 90s. So whether you choose to maintain a full career, part-time retirement job, or hobby, don’t live a docile life in retirement. Working at something you enjoy keeps your mind sharp and body busy.
