What Does the Word Retirement Mean to You?

When we meet with a potential client for the first time it is often when they are one to two years away from retirement. The building of their wealth is reaching an end and they are looking to start enjoying the fruits of their labor. It is during these early stages that we like to ask, what does retirement mean to you?

We get all kinds of answers, but eventually they come back to one central theme: focusing on things they want to do versus things they have to do. We are curious if you might help us build out other definitions of the word retire by giving us your own answer, here.
