I want to talk to you today about something that may seem counter-intuitive.
I’m a financial advisor and I want people to get into great financial shape. Even though I want people to enjoy retirement, I don’t necessarily think that people should retire fully from work at a young age.
Some data shows that early retirees are at special risk for cognitive decline. Other data shows a loss of social networks. Neither of those sound like golden years.
A study from 2018 showed that men in the month they turned 62 have a 2% mortality bump compared to the previous month. (They didn’t show that same effect for women.)
I could go on.
My point is that the goal of retirement planning is to prepare to be able to retire. If you do that, you can do things you want to do. You can handle crises, you can live a nice life. Just don’t necessarily stop working at a young age. That really might not be a good idea.
