golden years
The years following one's retirement (generally after the age of 65). After such a hectic career, I plan to spend my golden years gardening, reading, and living as tranquilly as possible. Yep, my aunt was widowed in her 50s and just remarried in her golden years. She's an inspiration! You need to save now so you have money for your golden years—unless you plan to keep working into your 70s!
