Straight talk from the money editor
Staying active in retirement can help people cope with the big changes in their routine that can lead to some negative feelings developing. I spoke with a financial advisor who has many retired clients, and she offered insight on how to stay healthy in your retirement years. Exercise is key. You don't have to become a triathlete or start CrossFit training. The idea is to plan a walk, jog, bike ride, yoga class or other physical activity you enjoy. The National Institute on Aging says that exercise can improve your physical strength and fitness level, which can allow you to keep up with the everyday activities you want to do. And let's face it: People in good health have lower health-care costs, so they will put less of a drain on their resources. I am very happy to report that 96% of our readers knew that if they buy a bond they were lending money to the company. Kudos! For more cool stuff like this, please follow me on Twitter @jimpavia. |
