10 Reasons Why Life is Better After 60

6) Retirement

All of our lives are spent constantly trying to reach goals. Whether it means obtaining a high ranking position within a company, making an impact on the world or just becoming an independent adult.

There comes a time, however, when you no longer wish to keep striving for something greater. Instead, we dream of retirement; to leave the status quo behind, and be rewarded for our life’s work.

Of course, there are both advantages and disadvantages of waiting longer to retire. Realistically we all want to retire as soon as possible, but sometimes hitting 60-plus is not the time to stop working, as you can save more and spend less.

If you are in a comfortable financial position and have mentally checked out of the office, retirement opens up a whole new world. Maybe you’ve always wanted to buy a house by the beach, or maybe you just enjoy relaxing at home for the rest of your days.
