Retirement Quotes

Here’s one thing about retirement – it’s the golden age era when we finally get to enjoy ourselves with all that money we saved up over our career term. However, it’s also the age where we are too old, too frail and old for the activities that we dreamed of when we were younger. While we have more time to ourselves, we also have less time on earth by the time we retire. Well, that took quite a gloomy turn. Let us instead focus on the joys that this golden age can bring you. Here, we have compiled a list of retirement quotes and messages that you can send to your retiring father, an old, seasoned boss or anyone else that comes to mind.
