When someone retires, it’s like when you finish playing a long game and you decide to take a break. Imagine a grown-up has been working hard at their job, like playing a game for many, many years. They get to a point where they can stop working and relax more, like having more time to play with toys or read stories.
Think of it like a superhero hanging up their cape. They’ve been saving the day for a long time, and now they can rest and do things they enjoy, like spending time with family or traveling to new places.
Retirement is also like the end of a school year. You’ve learned a lot and done all your homework, and now you get to enjoy summer vacation. For grown-ups, retiring means they have done all their work and can now enjoy more free time.
Remember the time when you put away your favorite toy after playing with it for a long time? Retirement is similar. The toy is still there, and you can look at it fondly, but now you can explore other fun things.
