I have been doing mornings on Lite Rock 105 for 22 years. It's been a fabulous run but 5:30 [a.m.] is my show so [waking up at] 3:30 in the morning for 22 years, is enough to kill somebody. That's not really the reason though why I have decided to retire.
Gary Degraide
Just because a woman is over 50 does not mean she no longer has anything to offer. If anything, we have so much more to offer! We have lived life, we get better with age. I do my best work now in my 60s. Sure, I could retire; but what would I do? Play Bingo? I think not!
Dawn Wells
Retiree medical expenses are the big wild card. Most people will probably spend a lot more on medical expenses when they retire.

More wealthy people will be out in the market because baby boomers will start to retire in 2007, and that's a chance for us. We are paying close attention to how the luxury market in Japan develops.
Itaru Koeda
People keep asking me when I'm going to retire.
Diane Evans
Regardless of the number of men we ordain to the priesthood each year, that number does not keep pace with the number of priests who retire from the ministry. As a result of fewer priests, the need for well-trained lay ministers is even more important.

Sean Mcalinden
The injury has only helped my decision to retire. I always gave 100 percent to the sport, and after so many years of playing, I can no longer do that. I'm ending my professional career as a player, but I will remain in basketball.

Yvonne Mallett

Al Macinnis
Clearly people do not figure natural disaster risks into their decisions of where to live and where to retire.

Jim Copeland
To be an owner of a team is something I dream of doing once I retire. Maybe even a soccer team and a basketball team. I can't see myself away from basketball if I retire at 30 or 40. That would be something to look at in the future.

It wouldn't have saved any money to fire him. Having Bob retire as he did, the issue got resolved more quickly, immediately.

Jack Collins
I'm picking Mike Sherman in Green Bay. Listen, injuries are part of the game and injuries are mounting, especially offensively. Talk about whether or not Brett Favre is going to retire.

Boomer Esiason
That's extraordinary, ... Normally, you'd have two, maybe three at most legislators would chose a particular year to retire, c'mon.
Kevin Hardwick
Beating the market is not a goal in my mind. Having enough money to retire and not running out of money, perhaps leaving a legacy or funding some charities; that is.
