Retirement allows you to do anything you like (within the law) and not to be shackled to an employer or work you don't particularly enjoy but need to do to earn a crust. I've been fortunate to be working in a profession that I enjoy, and one where there is always a demand for my skills. So, my plan for 'retirement' is to transition from full time employment to part time self-employment; picking and choosing contract work that I like to do and when I feel like it. Being well networked and building a strong reputation will be essential leading up to the transition, which if successful, would be like I never retired from getting paid but not doing anything I don't enjoy.
