The Case Against Early Retirement
Studies suggest that early retirement may have negative health implications, as evidence shows a correlation between longer work life and increased longevity. This is attributed to social interactions and mental engagement that occur in the workplace. When individuals retire early, they often experience a decrease in daily socialization, which can lead to feelings of isolation and cognitive decline. Therefore, retiring at an older age may encourage healthier lifestyle habits and greater longevity.
