Read This Before You Retire Early Over COVID-19

The COVID-19 crisis is impacting Americans of all ages, and older adults are no exception. If health concerns are keeping you out of the workforce, or fear of losing your job is tempting you to call it quits yourself in an attempt to take control of the situation, then you may be contemplating the idea of early retirement.

There are plenty of good reasons to leave the workforce sooner than you may initially planned. First of all, if your job increases your risk of falling ill with COVID-19 in any way, then leaving it is a good way to protect your health. But medical concerns aside, retiring early could allow you to enjoy your newfound freedom when you're younger and are apt to have more energy for the things you've always wanted to do. But before you pull the trigger on retirement during these uncertain times, consider the following potential hiccups.
