"Retire" is misleading. "withdraw to or from a particular place." The definition of work is simply "activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result."
I guess I could consider planning a European vacation as working. Or volunteering at what I love to do, kind of like work. Or getting dressed in hiking clothes and taking a long hike on the trails. It takes energy, thought, planning etc. I work to organize fun activities for DH and me. I work to find restaurants and work to plan a budget. In these cases, it's the work I love.
I retire everyday to leave an activity to go relax.
Our money is working for us. It's providing an effort to achieve a purpose to keep us comfortable in our later years. The conundrum is solved.
