Many people take the option to retire early from their careers for several reasons, but one of those that standout is health, and it starts to paint some startling numbers that help people understand the risks involved.
Recently the United Kingdom came out with a campaign for middle-aged people to shift into a healthy lifestyle, in order for them to enjoy their years of retirement, which is what the Public Health England’s One You campaign is all about.
Seeing that bad health could be a big risk of unhealthy retirement, people might end up more depressed and spend more money for medication or treatment rather than enjoying it.
People in the middle age level, between 40 to 65 years, are stepping into the preparatory stage of retirement as well as the time of people’s lives when they start to feel the effects of their youth in their physical and emotional being.
Recent statistics by the health sector in England showed that 20 percent of those in the 45 to 64 age range are now living with a disability or illness and unless people start living healthy lifestyles, they could end up dying early or suffer bad health throughout their retirement years.
The campaign is intensively employing media and advertising, by partnering with big media outfits and corporations to urge and educate people over 40 to give up smoking, eat better, drink less and exercise more.
Recent statistics from Public Health England also revealed that about 75% of men and 35% of women aged between 45-64 are obese or overweight, adding that 40% of deaths are related to poor lifestyle habits.
Financial experts believe that if you feel you need to retire early due to health reasons, it would be best to plan ahead and not allow yourself to reach the point of no return when you start planning for your retirement.
Unhealthy retirement could be one of the most difficult options to consider, especially if you decide to retire due to failing health, with which your next biggest consideration is finances.
- Have you considered your options?
- Have you considered how much income you’ll get once you retire early?
- If it is for medical or failing health, will your income cover your expenses?
These are the three most important questions you need to ask before you choose to decide.
Changing your lifestyle now for the better helps you secure your future retirement plans and greatly reduces your risk of unhealthy retirement.
