Pick up a part-time job
Perhaps the best cure for missing work is to dip your toe back into waters by landing a part-time job.
About 20 percent of Americans 65 and older work, according to AARP. Not only will a part-time job give you a sense of purpose, but it also can make for a much smoother financial ride throughout your golden years.
If you’re lucky, you might even find a part-time job that offers benefits.
