Currently 72 years old, he teaches at the University of Illinois as a donation fund professor and is the author of two books. Mr. Dash, who has had many successes in his life and should be able to live a more comfortable old age, has no intention of retiring and states that 'when I retire, it is time to die.' Some studies have shown data that 'retirement makes you unhealthy,' but Dash, who continues to work, remains physically and mentally healthy, as doctors admit.

Mr. Dash has two lectures at the University of Illinois in his 70s and plans to open another lecture from the fall of 2016. Not only is Mr. Dash passionate about his work, he says he is so healthy that his doctor says, 'I'm so healthy that I can continue working.' Mr. Dash's friend retired at the age of 62 or 65, but after a few years he became physically and mentally unhealthy. Mr. Dash is completely uninterested in the 'retirement life' of sitting down and says, 'I want to keep having a reason to get out of bed every morning.'

Husbands who have lost their jobs will receive money from their wives instead of from the company, but as wives become the only 'financial donors', many husbands tend to feel incapacitated. is. It is said that these tendencies can explain the fact that depression and marital relationships worsen after retirement.

The National Bureau of Economic Research has published research results that 'living an active social life after retirement reduces the adverse effects on health.' On the other hand, after retirement, the relationship with colleagues is weakened, so men tend to feel that 'no one suddenly calls' and there is no place to go. Even if you go out with a former colleague, you may reaffirm that 'this is not your place'.

Even if Mr. Dash visits his friends once in a while, he seems to have a hard time taking them out from the front of the TV, and many retirees lose the purpose of leaving the house and live a sedentary life. It seems. Mr. Dash is also using SNS such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. under the guidance of students, and the newest application that he recently put on the iPhone is 'Snapchat', and he has been interacting with many people on social media.
