Now I'm retired mid 40's, own everything I've worked for, including my retirement fund.
Have a read of this:
How to Die Young: Retire EarlyIn a study done by Shell Corporation a shocking discovery was made about the age of retirement when correlated with age of death. According to the article:
People who retire at 55 are 89% more likely to die in the 10 years after retirement than those who retire at 65.
Doesn’t that seem a bit backwards? So they found that the workers living to the age of 65 were 89% more likely to live 10 more years after retirement even though they were 10 years older than their early retirement counterparts. I find that to be completely shocking, I hope you would as well.
So what does this mean?
The only difference between the two groups was retirement from work. From this we could infer that work could be the reason we continue to live as long as we do because it gives us purpose. Many people who leave work aren’t really sure what to do with their days. I can relate as one of the worst months of my life was when I was unemployed, not because I didn’t know where money was coming from, but because I didn’t have anything to work towards. Even if you’re financially free at retirement, it doesn’t mean you’ll be living a fulfilling life.
