Stay engaged and active.
Doctors recommend it. Talk show hosts recommend it. Your kids probably recommend it, too. Staying active during retirement is vitally important to living a long, fulfilling life. Physical and mental activity can both be found through part-time jobs. The authors of a new study at the Sloan Center on Aging and Work at Boston College say activity isn’t worthwhile for retirees unless you’re truly engaged in what you’re doing. Find a part-time job that allows you to be “engaged” by your connection to something “positive, meaningful, invigorating, and inspiring.”

Form new relationships
Maintaining contact with your current friends and acquaintances is important, but so is forming new connections and relationships. If you’ve worked your whole lifeyour coworkers made up a large part of your connection to other people, whether you meant them to or not. Don’t lose that connection--keep working and make new ones.

Make supplemental income.
Even if you have enough saved for retirement or your pension checks will cover your expenses, having another source of income can help with unexpected expenses or to make fun plans like travel or taking on new hobbies. The good news is that 53 percent of employers plan to hire mature workers in 2014/2015, according to a survey by CareerBuilder.
