Well technically, everyone retires. Some are lucky enough to do it with usable time left in their life, some do it when they’re forced to by physical issues, and some retire at death. I’m hoping for the first one, but my retirement won’t be a lazy one—it would give me time to pursue my passions.

I realize that I’ve already flubbed any chances for a traditional retirement—pension, etc., so I have to pursue moolah and security in other ways. I’ve got my fingers crossed that it’ll happen with enough work and ingenuity.
