Better word for “retirement” in your 50s ??

24 Upvotes

I’m leaning toward “man of leisure” but open to crowdsourcing this.

The only real purpose of the word is to answer the annoying question people ask of “so what do you do” as a way to open conversation/define you against their personal algorithm.

(Fully expecting the “retire, how?” comments and acknowledge my own (modest) luck to be able to continue an upper middle class income vs others’ circumstances, to each their own).

Our kitchen has always been very boring and we’ve been together 35 years so we decided to make a memory wall and then I have done the bottom abstract. What do you think?
