Most people who stop working in their mid 30s quit or were fired, not
retired.

Or are married and the husband has the income. My wife "retired" in her
early 20s. Loose definition of retired.

That's old-fashioned nowadays. But she got in on it before it fell
out of fashion :-) Nowadays it's not as simple.

Divorce, layoff, being replaced by technology, single wage earner,
feminism.... 78% of wage earners in the U.S. cant support a family

"retired from K-mart" is gross over-statement. More like "the last
place you worked" and "the only real job you ever had" (about 5
years?). You simply "stopped working". "Retired" implies a
substantial and productive work history.
