I see all these old people who don't have anything to do but eat, drink and sleep. I will never say 'retired' because that's such a finality that I don't want to be part of my life. I'll work until they throw me in a box.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Retiring is a strange word. I'm 27 years old. I've still got stuff to do.
I have never retired - I have averaged 40 working weeks a year since 1933.
The day I retire is the day I'll feel old. I'm not there yet.
Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren't going to get rid of me that way.
If I hear the word 'retire,' it makes me want to throw up. And then do what? Sit around all day watching television?
Society tells you that when you're old you have to retire. You have to defy that.
The word 'retirement' doesn't really sit well with me. There comes a time when you reach a position in society or culture where people will not let you retire. You can say, 'Alright, I'm going to hang up my guitar,' but people will still not let you retire.
I'll never retire from working; I'll keep my life interesting until I drop dead.
I'm not giving in to anyone else's idea of how I ought to feel and look at 70. 'Retirement' is not a word I can even visualize. I retire when I go to bed!
I regard myself as someone who is retired but who occasionally goes out to work. In fact, I'm offered so much good stuff that it's not so occasional.
