"I now do things because I want to, not because other people want me to. I think the really good thing about retirement is that suddenly you’re just doing it for yourself and that’s a real big plus."
MS (age 58)
"Retirement? It’s wonderful! I thought it was going to be good but it’s even better than I imagined."
CM (age 71)
"It doesn’t matter how many people tell you that they are busy all the time in retirement you don’t really understand what they do until you retire yourself. And we are retired and, in that sense, it’s the nicer times now, but we’re still busy people."
JD age 63
