Retirement is about - i can leave this shit already. i dont need the income anymore or that level of income. Dont need to suffer this daily for that income. Can take a easier or happier job at lower income. Or even stopping work altogether with zero income.
"Income" mentioned above refers to active income only. excludes passive income.
What are your plans for retirement, as defined above?
Where would you retire in? (please take into account about the realistic possibility of getting a long term stay visa in that place. Dont tell me a place like Japan)

I started a similar thread a decade ago at

My definition of retirement is pretty much identical. Too many people misunderstand what "retirement" actually means.
