Need a new name for Retirement
 
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.
