Time Finally Yours
What does it mean to retire?
You've heard grown-ups say someone "retired," like your neighbor who used to leave for work every morning but now spends Tuesday afternoons building birdhouses in the garage. What happened? Did they quit? Get fired? Win the lottery?
Retirement means you stop working your regular job—but not because something went wrong. You stop because you've worked long enough, saved enough money, and now you get to choose how to spend your days. Think of work like a really long book you've been reading for thirty or forty years. Retirement is when you finally get to close that book and pick up a different one.
