Retirement

Retirement refers to the time in your life when you choose to permanently stop working. The traditional retirement age is 65 in the United States and most other developed countries.

Most countries, especially the United States have some kind of pension or benefits system to supplement your income. The United States has social security. However, in most places you won’t be able to survive on social security alone as it will most likely make up less than 75% of your previous income before retirement.
