The definition of "retiring well" varies from person to person. For most, it may involve maintaining good health (physical and mental), and achieving a certain level of living standard after retirement.

Some may consider attaining financial freedom as one of the top priorities for an ideal retirement. Others may simply want to be able to spend time with people they love or doing things they enjoy.
