As reported in the article Will we retire to poor health?, retirees show poorer health than than working people according to a recent study. If you’re like me, my first thought was that some people retire due to poor health, so the finding sounds really obvious, but the researchers behind this study have found ways to account for that pitfall. There are ways to work around the retirement health threat though. The study said it’s not really retirement that might make you sick, but rather the poor way many of us manage our retirement. People who stay physically and socially active, some of them by working part-time, pretty much escape the retirement curse. Being married, which is one indicator of having at least some social network, is also associated with less likelihood of health problems. The easy answer taken from this article is that you might do yourself both a financial favor and get a health benefit from having a part-time job in your retirement.
