None of the above .
I think the modern term is homemaker, though it's not from choice.
Husband is still working more than full time and hopes to continue to do so even after he hits 65 in a few years. He is 8 years older than me btw.
Retired doesn't really give an indication of age either. Friends in the UK retired at 55 (or younger :shock, others, like my husband, work on. My brother in law is 75 and still working.

When I was made redundant in late 2008, following the usual take-over madness, I took the opportunity to make my working life multi-level.
So now I do a wide variety of things, some photographic, some not. I write, but not exclusively photo stuff, I do commercial and wedding photography, I teach, I even sit here on this forum at 3 in the morning sometimes.
But most importantly I do the jobs I want to, which makes it so much better than it was before, when I drove 45,000 miles a year, always under Pressure....Pressure!

Desperately clinging on to a manufacturing engineering job. It's getting harder.
One day I'll stop working and they'll put me in a box.

Just been reading a dirth of posts regarding a range of subjects but all have a similar thread. Why was my post deleted? Over policing of the site? It's photography related etc etc etc. Next up came the subject of medication, tastes in programming, political stance and choice of confectionary. Then I wondered how many of us are retired or semi-retired and have the time to sit and ponder before hitting the keyboard in reply?
Of course, response is purely optional, but I thought it would be an interesting exercise and a way of gauging the status of the forum users and maybe getting a feel for the target audience.
