retirement:

Maybe this has been asked before, but I'm just curious. How many ladies retire and actually stay retired permanently? It seems fairly common that many "retire" only to come back. Your thoughts?

I think you already answered your own question - well done.

If you had a source of disposable income tax free that you had FUN working for... would you ever really leave? Even if you had a solid life and didn't depend on this life? Smart ones would have a hard time walking away from play money.
