The Center of Retirement Research at Boston College (CRRC) recently published research that showed that working longer -- instead of taking a full retirement -- may result in a longer life. Men who took the tax bonus lived longer on average. "While the policy did increase men’s life spans slightly, women seemed unaffected, because fewer of them responded to it by working longer." While the government doesn't offer a direct incentive to work longer, you can receive a bonus for delaying Social Security benefits. Will working longer -- and waiting to collect benefits -- make you live longer?
