retirement
Post-career phase
Retirement is the period of life after a person stops working, typically in older age.
To go into retirement or be in retirement is to have left one's career: She's been enjoying retirement for five years now.
The word also applies to the act of withdrawing from activity or public life: The boxer announced his retirement.
A retirement can be a secluded place: He wrote his memoirs in rural retirement.
