You Just Did. So Am I (only no semi about it). As you can see from my banner, it has not kept me from making money on here (or any where else online).

WELCOME!

Congratulations on your semi-retirement!
I am a few years away from that, but my husband is semi-retired.

What's with the "Semi" part, I jerked the plug when I was 62 and never looked back. Now August 3 I celebrate 80 with a big party.

May just be me, but I'm guessing the OP had a survey that asked about his/her status of employment and it did not offer a retired option - then the OP, not realizing that FC and the survey panel are not one and the same - decided to vent here in the forum.

The true definition of the term "retired" is ever changing.  It used to mean when you left you job of 30+ years and spent all of your time enjoying leisure activities and hobbies, living off of a pension and/or Social Security.  Today, most "retired" folks (meaning collecting said pension/SS) still have to hold a job to make ends meet. Others just can't stop working, my girlfriend's husband has "retired" from the Navy and the Post Office, collects pensions from both, and still works.

I left my "job" 8 years ago to create my own income streams.  I worked harder than ever before, but I did it on my schedule without commuting or spending a fortune on a "career wardrobe."  I am free to schedule in leisure activities and my "hobbies" all create additional streams of income. 

So, your opinion, am I retired?  Is this the definition of semi-retired?  What's your definition?
