Need a new name for Retirement

[DruannB]

I don't really think of myself as "retiring." I'm trying to come up with a new word for what retirement is in the 21st century for many people. I've thought of "Repurposing" and "Reinventing." Does anyone else have a great name for starting a new phase in their lives?

New Adventures

I have started new things, completed training I didn't have time for when working, gone new places, planned new and interesting adventures, completed lots of projects and it's just getting started.

Being retired for 6+ years, the only downside I have come across is that there are no days off :)

Since I'm also not ready to be "retired", I tell people that I am either semi-retired or semi-unemployed depending on how I feel when I wake up in the morning.

I like to say I’m on sabbatical.

YOLO
"YOLO is an acronym for "you only live once". Similar to carpe diem, it implies that one should enjoy life, even if that entails taking risks." WIKIPEDIA


ZIP
ZIP is an acronym for "zest in peace". It's just the opposite of RIP, it implies that one should enthusiastically enjoy life but not if it entails taking risks beyond pickleball. WEDIPEDIA

I love many of these and have written them down. I plan to write a book once I "Re...." And it will be more interesting that the dissertation I wrote on 18th century female playwright Hannah Cowley. Someone may actually read it. Thanks to you all.
