Longer Lives, Longer Careers?

Statistics simply do not support that claim however, with data suggesting that our socio-economic group has more to do with our life expectancy after retirement than the job we did or the stress it caused us. The age at which we retire doesn’t seem to be much of a predictor for retirement life expectancy either, because data suggesting that early retirees die more quickly is muddied by the fact that people often retire early because they are suffering life-limiting health conditions.
