What does retirement mean?

I don't plan on retiring, just slowing down.

I'm to lazy to be left with nothing to do. Something has to get me of the house.

How about you? Thought much about your golden years?

I think retirement will mean more physical labour.

As it is, when I am not working for pay, I am working for play. We live in the country and there is ALWAYS something to do. Cut that branch, move that stump, fix that bearing, change that pump...and that was just Saturday morning.

As it is now, I go to work to get some rest.

..been there 5 years. sorta like being a teenager again except with no school and plenty of pocket change.

I'm with ya.
When I retire, I think I'll get a job at a golf course. Combine a passion with a paycheck, and not have to worry very much about the paycheck..................that's a nifty "retirement" in my book.

No longer having a job in order to experience the last leg of the journey we call Life.

Not getting at 6 every morning and working overtime Going to bed when I feel like it and getting up when I feel like it . . Not dealing with bosses or questionable administration. Eating when and what I like . Spending time writing my book and reading . Being free to see friends without worrying about getting up early . Going for rides in the country . Sitting in my back yard and listening to the bird songs .
In a word , smelling the roses .after a life-time of work , education and struggle .
Yes , I'm retired after a career of treating people with serious mental health issues .
I do really miss " plying my trade " . I am one of those fortunate people who loved my work..and for the above reasons...retirement is more than I hoped for .

Retirement to me means not showing up for a regular job but it has absolutely nothing to do with slowing down... ever.
