What is retired?

I think for me it is changing what we use to do,,

Maybe our new choices may cause us to eat less or don't buy as many goodies...

My example I always did what I wanted to do (always my own boss).. and folks have labeled me retired .. I still do what I want

Physical changes are usually a factor for retirement.. I was active in sports into my 60's and yes I played against players half my age.. than I noticed I started to get injuries that I never got before, and took longer to get healthy again. Sign that age was catching up to me.

Retire is a frame of mind.. In fact as I am typing this , I am saying I am no longer retired .. even if it means I have to get in the tax program again.. Now what do I want to do
