Thinking about retirement already? You might be depressed

For many people, thoughts of retirement begin as soon as they join the workforce after college. But new studies are showing that people who spend to much time thinking about their retirement may actually be depressed. In fact, the findings also showed that those who were depressed were more likely to retire early.

I think these findings make a lot of sense -- I'd venture a guess that those who enjoy their jobs and feel fulfilled and challenged by them are less likely to think about retiring, and less likely to be depressed. But for those people, there's another kind of risk -- trying to tear them away from the job when it really is time to retire.
