I’m one for whom the non-financial benefits of continuing to work far outweigh drawbacks. I was “downed” with very sudden-onset, moderately severe rheumatoid arthritis at 60. In spite of relatively severe pain etc I continued my practice as a psychotherapist, albeit with fewer clients. I’m now 67, the RA is well-managed & I continue to work, even when my body protests. This is not for financial reasons, but to help give my days structure & to feel I’m making a significant contribution to others’ lives. I do voluntary work, have several rewarding hobbies & could fill retirement time easily. I’m lucky to have a profession where I can call the shots.
