researchers at oregon state university ran through numbers people over 65 and they found it lowers the chance of dying by about 11%. it keeps you healthier. this is research from the university of miami. people who work past 65 say they're in good, very good, or excellent health. mental sharpness is a big one. even people who say they're working just for the money, at least to begin with, say it helps keep them clear. and the biggest one, i think, it reduces isolation. we looked at research from age wave, they say if you're isolated in retirement, it can have the impact of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. >> really? >> unbelievable. and for those of us who love what we do, it gives you some sort of an identity. which is nice. >> let's talk about financial benefits. as we pointed out some people may be looking to earn a paycheck or have disposable income but a laundry list here. >> that's right. let's talk about the money in your retirement

paycheck, you can leave that money in your retirement account. it can continue to grow tax deferred. you may contributing to those retirement accounts. if you get a pension and put off taking the pension, you may receive a larger paycheck throughout your retirement. that's a big one. social security we talk about it all the time. but for every year you delay taking social security from age 62 to age 70, your benefits grow by an average of 8% a year guarantee. that's enormous. you may still be eligible for some company benefits. for example, if you work for a company that has more than 20 people, you may be able to stay on their health plan rather than going on medicare. when you retire, you won't have to wait for the open enrollment period. >> i didn't know this until reading the notes on this. a lot of people consider this working in retirement rather than working past retirement. >> i think the difference in the language there

reflects it's more of a choice. if you say you're working past retirement. it's like a slug. working in retirement seems to say this is something that i'm choosing to do. and when you're thinking about what to do, you want to cast a wide net. what we know about people working in retirement three out of five are doing something new. retires are three times more likely than other people to be entrepreneurs. but it's not something that you can just decide you want to do the day before you retire. you got to make a plan, you should be laying the groundwork for this. at least five years in advance, and brush up your tech skills, if you can. >> hang out with teens or grand kids in the area or take some classes. >> free tech education. go to a local community college. learn those skills that will be useful. >> yeah. >> the other thing here consider a breather. how long do you wait or how soon do you jump back in? >> we note on average people are taking

a half years from the time they leave their traditional jobs until a time they enter working in retirement. but for every year you take off, it becomes a little bit harder to get back in. while you're taking that breather, make sure you're networking. make sure you're getting the skills in shape. >> great information, jean. thank you so much. you can find jean's tips for the month at today.com/starttoday. and tomorrow bob hartford will be here to walk his start "today" fitness plan. >> tamron. thank you very much. a little early but let's do some birthdays. t's do birthdays. >> absolutely. let's spin the smucker's jar and see who we see. happy birthday to irene lucente of staten island, new york. she loves to read and spend time with her family. ray sigmon this entrepreneur from south carolina. ran his own landscaping business and was a fireman for his town, as
