You shouldn’t necessarily view returning to work in retirement as a bad thing. In addition to the financial benefits, working can help ward off boredom. “There is a sense of fulfillment in work. It keeps us busy and also provides us with a sense of purpose,” said Alexander Rupert, a certified financial planner with Laurel Tree Advisors in Pepper Pike, Ohio.
You don’t have to return to the job or field you left. There are senior-friendly jobs that are perfect for retirement and might offer the chance to explore other interests you have. And many retirees are finding a niche in the gig economy, Rupert said. “Working in the gig economy entails setting your own hours, only working as often as you like and earning as much as you’re willing to work — the flexibility that many retirees seek while still getting a sense of fulfillment and earning a little extra cash,” he said.
