Retirement may seem untenable with inflation soaring and gas prices skyrocketing, but for some older adults, hanging on to their job can cause more harm than good. Sure, you still have money coming in, but at what price to your mental or physical health?

“In this economy, people are starting to worry that they don’t have a plan,” says Riley Rindo, senior wealth adviser and director at MAI Capital Management. “They are panicking and tending to hang on when they can retire and be perfectly fine.” The thought of retirement can be scary, especially when it can easily last 20-plus years. Staying employed for as long as possible keeps you socially connected and the cash flowing. Still, sometimes retirement is the better option, especially if any of these signs ring true.

1. You’re disinterested in the job

Work should give you a sense of purpose in addition to a paycheck, but for many people who have been there and done that for decades, it’s lost its luster. If going into the office or logging on for the day conjures up feelings of dread instead of joy, it may be a sign your job has run its course. That’s particularly true if it’s hard to get motivated at work or if you’ve become resentful of daily tasks. “If you are 60 or 62, a bad day at work can turn into your last day or work,” says Rindo. “Just being motivated because you think you have to work isn’t very productive.”

2. Your health is suffering

Most people have plans for their golden years, whether it’s traveling the world, moving closer to the grandkids, kicking back at home or starting a second career. Those dreams cost money, but they also require decent health. If your health is suffering and you can afford to retire, now may be the time to make the leap. Why wait until you can’t enjoy the things you worked hard to save for?

“Some people feel like they used up precious remaining years, especially if they have chronic conditions or a health shock they weren’t counting on,” says Matthew Rutledge, an economics professor at Boston College and a research fellow at BC’s Center for Retirement Research.

3. You’re burned out

Whether your job is physically taxing or requires a lot of brainpower, feeling burned out is a big reason older adults make the retirement leap. Working too much can cause stress, which can lead to all sorts of health issues, including an increased risk of hypertension, heart attack and stroke. A recent study published in PNAS, a scientific journal, found stress can speed up the natural aging process of the immune system in people of advanced age, increasing the risk of cancer, heart disease and infectious illnesses such as COVID-19.​

Where are the rich moving to in 2022?

Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, Sharjah and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Lusaka in Zambia, and Luanda in Angola are in the lead. In the first half of 2022, they saw an increase of up to 20% in terms of their wealthy population.

The total private wealth held by New York residents was found to exceed $3 trillion. New York City is home to more rich people than any other city in the world, according to a new report by investment migration consultancy Henley & Partners. Around 345,600 millionaires reside in the Big Apple, alongside 15,470 multi-millionaires who have assets worth over $10 million, 737 centi-millionaires (wealth of $100 million or more) and 59 billionaires, the report said. The financial center of the U.S. is recognized as the wealthiest city in the world by several measures. The report finds that around 4% of New York's 8.38 million citizens own investable assets – property, cash or stocks – worth over $1 million. The number drops significantly to 15,470 when assessing those who have more than $10 million in assets. The total private wealth held by New York residents was found to exceed $3 trillion. Remarkably, that's more than the total private wealth held in most major G-20 countries. Japan's capital Tokyo ranked second with 304,900 wealthy individuals. Compared to New York, a much smaller proportion of them have assets worth over $10 million. The report found that 7,350 people in Tokyo are multi-millionaires, 263 have above $100 million and 12 are billionaires. The San Francisco Bay Area – which includes Silicon Valley – rounds out the top three wealthiest cities, with 276,400 rich individuals, 12,890 of whom are multi-millionaires. The report said 623 have assets worth at least $100 million and 62 billionaires live in the city. Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston are the other U.S. cities in the top 10, ranking 6th, 7th, and 8th, respectively.
