I found out retirement means playing golf, or I don't know what the hell it means. But to me, retirement means doing what you have fun doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 can't bear the thought of retirement, and I haven't prepared myself for it. I don't play bridge, and I don't play golf. I do play tennis, but you can't do that every day of the week.
Retire? I don't know what that word means. As long as a man is able to work and he's productive out there and he feels good - keep at it.
Retiring is one thing. Being retired is something else altogether.
I never use that word, retire.
Retirement is not in my vocabulary. They aren't going to get rid of me that way.
The pain of retirement means loss.
When you look at facing retirement in your mid-30s, and all of a sudden the outlet for that passion and work ethic goes away, you can't just sit back in a rocking chair and be retired at 35. I'm not a good enough golfer to play golf every day.
When you retire, it's a place in life, a part of the journey. You just don't quit work; you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.
I tell people retirement isn't what you think. You are going to sit around and waste your life, you can only golf so much. To stay young, you have to stay in the mix.
