Read on to discover some of the benefits you can enjoy after you retire from Oracle.

Working during your Oracle retirement can help maintain mental agility as you learn new skills. Staying engaged in work helps build 'mental muscle,' which can lessen the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimers(2) and ward off the signs of aging.

 

2.. Physical Benefits

Staying active during your Oracle retirement years is crucial for continued health. Whether you choose to work full-time or volunteer a few days a week, engaging in some form of work will keep your body moving, and give you opportunities to stay balanced, strong, and healthy.

3. Financial Benefits

Besides the obvious extra income, working during your Oracle retirement may allow you to delay taking Social Security benefits. For every year you wait to take Social Security, your benefits can increase by an average of 8 percent annually.(3) Finding a strategy that works for you can truly pay off.

4. Emotional Benefits

Studies have shown that a sense of purpose has been found to lengthen lifespan and quality of life.4 Working on something you care about, starting a new business, or mentoring others in the workplace can ward off depression and provide a healthy sense of fulfillment and direction in your years or retirement from Oracle.
