| - It was customary for members of the samurai caste in Rokugan to retire in a monastery as a monk once they were too old to be of use to the clan. The retiree would shave his topknot, a symbol of ending his life as a samurai, and passed his swords to one of his heirs or gave them back to his lord. Once released from service by their lord and daimyo, the samurai sought refuge and peace from the martial life in one of the many mountain monasteries and lived a simple life of contemplation and reflection over the Tao. It was common for the retired monk to take a new name. These retired samurai were not ronin, even though they had renounced all claims of clan and family. [citation needed]
- In the American Girl FAQ, the official explanation for retirement is as follows: "Like every company, American Girl is constantly revitalizing our products to best meet the needs of our customers and our business. While some items are discontinued, many other products are added to keep American Girl interesting and engaging, and to celebrate who girls are today."
- Retirement is the condition of being too rich or too old to work.
- English Wikipedia has defined Retirement in these words: "Retirement is the point where a person stops employment. A person may also semi-retire and keep some sort of job, although usually out of choice rather than necessity. This usually happens upon reaching a determined age, when physical conditions don't allow the person to work any more (by illness or accident), or even for personal choice (usually in the presence of an adequate pension or personal savings). The retirement with a pension is considered a right of the worker in many societies, and hard ideological, social, cultural and political battles have been fought over whether this is a right or not. In many western countries this right is mentioned in national constitutions."
- At any moment in the game, you can give up adventuring and go back to a safer life. You just need to camp and choose the retire from game option. As soon as you "throw in the towel", so to speak, the game will calculate your 'Score' based on your performance in Calradia. Tales about your retirement life and your portrait will be shown with your score. You can choose to 'Remain in retirement' or cancel it and get back to business.
- Retirement is a complete myth to most agents. This might be because they are too new to even begin thinking of retirement, have settled in quite nicely and have no intention to leave at all, are too insane to consider it, have died, or believe it is a lie. Nonetheless, some agents have managed to retire and leave the PPC. Retirement is also used as a disciplinary measure sometimes, where an agent is forced to retire from the PPC as a punishment and/or because they're psychologically unable to continue carrying out their duties. Dazey Baker's case is a good example of "punitive" retirement.
- Players are never destroyed unless they retire. When a player reaches over the age of 38 and they have low potential left, their skills will start to decrease until they eventually retire. If a player is retiring you will not be able to resign them at the end of their contract.
- Whether he's actually retired or not isn't clear, but the Super Friends affectionately call the Scarlet Cyclone by the name Retired Man, although he doesn't like being called that. During the era of the McCarthy hearings, a number of superheroes had retired, prompting the United States Government to bring back Task Force X. In the 1970s Maximus Mole was a retired professor of speleology, who enjoyed his retirement by searching for the legendary Bottomless Cave, which he does eventually discover, along with Molesville, an incredible subterranean jungle.

- Retirement was a period in an individual's life which followed the cessation, partial or complete, of that individual's primary career. In 2152, when the Vulcan ambassador Soval maneuvered to end the mission of Enterprise NX-01, Commander Charles Tucker III stated of him to Doctor Phlox, "They'll probably give the son of a bitch some gaudy medal and then cart him off to wherever they send bitter old Vulcans to retire."

- Retirement is an unavoidable step in a player's career, as it is specifically the moment when said career ends. Most of the times, players chose to end their career when they feel they are getting too old and that their skills decline; some less fortunate find themselves forced to retire because of injuries.
- Retirement is when an Unterganger, due to either lack of ideas (Unterganger's Block), time, interest or any number of other reasons, quits parody-making, either for a short time or permanently. Some retired Untergangers have chosen to close their accounts following their departure (this is known as Suicide, which in turn was coined from the fact that most high-ranking Nazi officers, including Hitler himself, ended their careers by committing suicide), but many others choose to leave their accounts open, allowing people to still view their videos.

(ENT: "Shockwave") Starfleet had a mandatory retirement policy until 2270. (TAS: "The Counter-Clock Incident") One of Grand Nagus Zek's reforms of the Ferengi Alliance was the introduction of retirement benefits for the aged. (DS9: "The Dogs of War") Obsidian Order head Enabran Tain retired in 2368. He was the only Cardassian in that position to live long enough to be able to retire. Legate Porania was "speechless" when Tain told him. Although Tain choose to retire to Arawath Colony, he kept "informed" on current events. He came out of retirement to lead a joint Obsidian Order and Tal Shiar attack on the Founders. He had no intention of returning to retired life and wanted to return to his "old job" and his "old life". (DS9: "The Wire", "Improbable Cause", "The Die is Cast") Zek had planned to retire in 2369, but decided against it, when Krax proved to be more like a Klingon than a Ferengi. (DS9: "The Nagus") Alsia had retired by 2370 but did not have enough latinum to live out her retirement the way she wanted to. (DS9: "Rivals") Conservator Kovat planned to retire in 2371. He was fearful that if Miles O'Brien's trial did not run as normal Cardassian trials did, it could ruin his record. (DS9: "Tribunal") Quark often talked about retiring early. After he received a ship, Quark's Treasure, from Gaila, Rom suggested he retire, so he could get the bar. (DS9: "Little Green Men") Gaila himself wanted to retire after forty years of selling weapons. He wanted Quark to take his place as Hagath's business partner. (DS9: "Business as Usual") In the Julian Bashir, Secret Agent holoprogram, Bashir enlists the help of Nigel Dunlap, a retired secret agent, to stop Lady Wantsomore from assassinating the Queen of England.

Benjamin Sisko planned to retire to his house in Bajor's Kendra Valley. Jake found it "weird" to hear his father talk of retirement. Sisko told him to bring his "grandkids to see me a few times a year".

- In 1969, the Stonewall Riots marked the start of the modern gay rights movement and increasingly LGBTI people have become more visible and accepted into mainstream cultures. LGBTI elders and retirees are still considered a newer phenomenon creating challenges and opportunities as a range of aging issues are becoming more understood as those who live open lives redefine commonly held beliefs and as retirees newly come out of the closet. LGBTI individuals are less likely to have strong family support systems in place to have relatives to care for them during aging. They are twice as likely to enter old age living as a single person; and two and a half times more likely to live alone. Because institutionalized homophobia as well as cultural discrimination and harassment still exist, they are less likely to access health care, housing, or social services or when they do, find the experience stressful or demeaning. Joel Ginsberg, executive director of the Gay Lesbian Medical Association, asserts "only by pursuing both strategies, encouraging institutional change and encouraging...and empowering individuals to ask for what they want will we end up with quality care for LGBT people." Across the United States, retirement communities catering to LGBT clientele have begun to appear. However, LGBT people living in nursing homes or assisted living centers "increasingly report that they have been disrespected, shunned or mistreated in ways that range from hurtful to deadly, even leading some to commit suicide." In response, LGBT Aging Centers have opened in several major metropolitan areas with the goal of training long-term care providers about LGBT-specific issues. Legislative solutions are available as well: "California is the only state with a law saying the gay elderly have special needs, like other members of minority groups. A new law encourages training for employees and contractors who work with the elderly and permits state financing of projects like gay senior centers." Twenty states prohibit discrimination in housing and public accommodation on the basis of sexual orientation. The General Accounting Office (as the GAO was then called) identified 1,049 federal statutory provisions in which marriage rights are contingent on marital status or in which marital status is a factor (married being defined as a male-female couple only). An update was published in 2004 including new statutory provisions involving marital status as well as statutory provisions repealed or amended yielding a total of 1,138 provisions in which marital status is a factor in determining benefits, rights, and privileges. For LGBTI retirees the implications transcend almost every aspect of retirement planning if they are in a same-sex marriage or long-term romantic relationship that is not legally recognized as a marriage.
- Retirement is an unavoidable step in a player's career, as it is specifically the moment when said career ends. Most of the times, players chose to end their career when they feel they are getting too old and that their skills decline; some less fortunate find themselves forced to retire because of injuries. While for most players retirement marks the end of their ties with professional hockey, for some others, it is simply a change of relationship. Indeed, there are many players who turn to coaching, scouting or management when their careers are over; some of them end up with long and fruitful careers after hanging their skates, like Pat Quinn, Al Arbour or Glen Sather.
- Players are never destroyed unless they retire. When a player reaches over the age of 38 and they have low potential left, their skills will start to decrease until they eventually retire. If a player is retiring you will not be able to resign them at the end of their contract.

Executions (forced retirement or termination) may also occur if YouTube has decided to close down an Unterganger's account due to what they see as a "copyright violation". The Unterganger may give up on parody making entirely, rendering them effectively retired, but in many cases they simply opened a new account, so the retirement phase might only be brief.
