Am I Retired!?

[RE2Boys]

I've called myself semi-retired for the past 17 years. At first it was a way to deflect questions regarding why I'm not working when I retired from my profession at 50 years old. Also, I worked 3-4 months a year at a CPA firm......the work had nothing to do with my engineering career, just something to do during the dog days of winter. Only this year, at 68 years old, do I finally use the term "retired"

no, you are not retired

My definition of being retired is never having to answer to anyone other than my wife.

Right. To go all the way you need to both retired and divorced.
