Working in Retirement? Here's Why That's Great -- and Why It's Really Not
If you want and are able to work past a typical retirement age, then more power to you! Working can keep you mentally and physically active, help you keep a social circle, and fill several of the 24 hours we have in our day with meaningful activities. Especially if you enjoy your job and get paid reasonably for it, working well into your golden years can be a great part of your life.
Yet for many, working in retirement isn't really a choice, it's a necessity. If you find yourself in that situation, then rather than a pleasant way to spend your golden years, working may end up as quite a miserable obligation. Indeed, for seniors, working because you have to can be an especially rough way to spend your time. Here are three reasons that working in retirement may not be as great as it seems.
