Retirement

Retirement is the process of leaving one’s job or career permanently, typically due to age or a decision to cease working. It marks the transition from full-time employment to a stage of life where individuals may choose to engage in leisure activities, pursue hobbies, travel, volunteer, or spend more time with family. Retirement is often associated with receiving financial benefits, such as pensions, savings, or social security, that provide for one’s living expenses after ceasing gainful employment. The age at which a person retires can vary, influenced by personal circumstances, financial readiness, and societal norms.
