In my particular case, it's Retirement.
Of course I've been thinking about that word for at least a decade. Turning 55 in 2014 used to sound like it'd be such a long ways off. From, today the cat is a little bit out of the bag. This afternoon, I requested procedural and contact information regarding starting my college pension. Of course, there are many things which can weigh on a decision about when to cease teaching. At this time, they may be pointing to the idea of doing so before the end of the year.
I'd rather be poor with a lot of free time than the opposite.
