(CBS)  Just because you hit 65 doesn't mean you should pack away your work clothes and spend the rest of your days relaxing in an easy chair.

According to U.S. News & World Report, there are plenty of reasons not to call it a career.

In fact, staying active at work could not only improve your bank account, but your physical and mental health, your marriage, and other important aspects of your life.

The magazine's deputy editor, Rick Newman, discussed it on The Early Show Tuesday.

The seven reasons the magazine gives for rethinking retirement are:
1. It literally pays to work, and money can buy peace of mind
2. The economy may face a shortage of qualified workers
3. Working can boost your health, keeping you active and sharp
4. Your marriage may profit from a little less togetherness
5. Without those pesky e-mails, you'd feel a loss of connection
6. You can use this time of your life for a whole new beginning
7. Work may add meaning to your later life
