Retirement for me is or will be a balance of work and leisure.

I put my career on hold when I became a mother.

My dream career didn’t/doesn’t offer me financial stability so I’ve pursued other jobs.

I never had the opportunity to cultivate my dream career due to where I live, education or other circumstances.

Less. In the end, it’s other things that really matter.

I’ve never really worried. What will be, will be.
