Thanks Larissa. Retirement is a state of mind. Some of us look forward to it, some of us fear it. The latter of course is usually a result of financial and/or emotional insecurity. Questions that plague you - What do I do if I have no office to go to and an entire day before me for the next 20+ years? Who do I talk to all day? How do I occupy myself mentally & physically? These thoughts can play havoc with us. But as you say today, the very terms 'retirement' has a new spin to it and my generation needs to get with this new, healthier approach to 'retirement', and welcome this time as a good opportunity to do much more at one's own pace and circumstance.
