retire
(redirected from retirers)

Retire
To extinguish a security, as in paying off a debt.

Retirement
1. The act or process of causing a security to cease to exist. It especially applies to debt securities; when a bond for example matures is said to be retired. However, a stock or other security may also be retired if its issuer buys it back.

2. A situation in which one stops working in one's old age, or at least when one has saved enough money to last the remainder of one's life. Generally, retirement occurs after the age of 65, but this is not a hard-and-fast rule. Both governments and companies offer pensions, annuities, and other plans to provide for one's financial needs in retirement.

retire (a debt)
To pay off a loan.

Joanne said: 'We wish to attract candidates who for one reason or another have not worked for some time, such as women returners or early retirers who are now keen to get back into the work place.
I would be interested in others' views on the position of early retirers --not "retirees", as is so often used.
