Is it better to retire early or keep working?
Retiring early sounds appealing – but is it always the best financial decision?
There’s no single “right” retirement age. The answer depends on your pension savings, other income and investments, expected spending and, importantly, what you actually want your retirement to look like.
Working for even a few additional years can give you more time to contribute to your pension and reduce the number of years your retirement savings need to support you. But if you’re financially secure and ready for a change, retiring earlier may be perfectly achievable.
The key is understanding what each option means for your long-term finances before you make the decision.
A retirement plan can help you compare different scenarios and see what retiring at 60, 65 or another age could look like for you.
