Yes. Stay busy as a board director at a membership campground, buying & restoring old Coleman lanterns and stoves and re-sell on eBay.
When time permits, occasionally do a honey-do item.

I haven't voted yet... I was trained and licensed as an aircraft mechanic (A&P) but have worked in the telecommunications industry for 43+ years... All of that comes to a screeching halt on October 20 when I retire from BNSF Railway as a Licensed Electronic Technician. So... I'll vote on or about October 21...

Retired from the military with 20 years, but still have about 18 years at second job before I can completely retire. So...Retired? Yes and No.

Yes, since 2002. Had to wait until DW could retire in 2015.
Truthfully, throughout life, you never retire. You just change career paths.

Yes and No.
I have to wait until 2026 or '28 for full benefits, depending on which pension plan. Throw in some confusion because Medicare may be shifting to 67 years-old too.
SWMBO already left the rat race.

Hoping and planning to retire at 60. (That may be a dream.)
If so, I have 19 years, 1 month, 8 days, and 23ish hours.....but who's counting?

Nope - but only work half the year - three week rotational schedule on the north slope. When not at work I'm with the trailer on adventures.

3 years. Can't wait. Doing all I can to make sure it happens and keep pushing for the Handshake. Tired of keeping up with technology...burns a person out, especially IT Security.

Retired is a state of mind more than one of reality. I know a hippy that retired when he was 10 years old, lives in a cave answers to no man, eats things I won't serve my dog. I have substantially higher standards, still have to put my daughter through college, keep my house maintained, finance my 2 dozen hobbies, take my wife out to dinner. I don't know what retiring means. The goal is geographical and financial independence, not 'retirement', there will always be a new TV or camper on your horizon, something to work for, at some level. "retirement" frankly doesn't exist. Just my humble opinion.

Retired Texas NG - Army
Retired in 2013 from the Army, 34 years total Guard and Active Duty.
Tired EMS flying and then Quality control for a body shop. Neither were a good fit.
Downsized the house and now life is GOOD!  We try to camp 7-14 days a month.

We have been retired since 2006. That's after 38 years in the school house.

Absolutely, six years this past May. Have not been back to the department since my last day of employment. Way too busy doing things I want to do.
