“I don’t think you are actually retired,” Corvallis pointed out mildly.…
“It’s a selective retirement,” Richard explained, “a retirement from boring shit.”
“I think that’s called a promotion.”Neal Stephenson
I was a stock broker once. I think there is an absolute place for market investments. But they should never be the basis of one's retirement. They should be an additional piece on top of a basic, secure, guaranteed retirement benefit.
Barbara Boxer
When a man is forced into early retirement, he is often being ‘given up for a younger man.’ Being forced into early retirement can be to a man what being ‘given up for a younger woman’ is for a woman… Why do many men get more upset by retirement than women do from the empty nest —when their children leave home? When females retire from children, they can try a career; when a man retires from a career, his children are gone.
Warren Farrell

Charles de Montesquieu
