RETIREMENT OR REJUVENATION?

I think we need to rename our post-work life. 

Up until recently, retirement has been associated with limited income, loneliness, boredom, and a precipitous decline in health.

Too doom-and-gloomy for me. What about you?

How about replacing it with a word that better reflects how new retirees live and the options they enjoy that simply were not available to past generations.

What positive characteristics does this demographic bring to the post-work landscape?

Health: They are younger and embrace a more active and healthy lifestyle.

Passions: They have multiple interests that have been nurtured and developed in tandem with their career life.

Wealth: They have devoted time and effort in building assets for the sole purpose of collecting a comfortable income once they've withdrawn from work.

Social Network: They harnessed available channels and social networks to establish and foster friendships - outside and beyond those built within the corporate walls. 

Once you have considered the above factors, I think the word rejuvenation would more closely describe the new post-work lifestyle that this new breed of retirees can expect and enjoy.

Can you think of a better word? I would love to hear from you.
