> What explains these excess retirements
3 theories, I'm sure there are a lot more:
1. It sucks, in general, to be a worker-bee these days. /r/antiwork isn't only millennials and younger - some older folks looked at their lifestyle creep, their retirement accounts, and decided to throw in the towel.
2. Imagine you are in your 50s - not yet ready to retire. Your parents die earlier than expected (possibly due to C19). Retirement can come early!
3. Another scenario - lots of people retired early because the market boom made them think they had 40% more retirement than they did. It's hard to find work, and possibly even harder to find motivation to return to work.
