Jim,
Thanks for asking.
When Pete wrote "I'm looking at ways to build a bit of an extra income since I'll go into retirement in a couple more weeks" I took that to mean... he'll be retiring from his Job and going onto his Pension and would thus need the Extra Income. And I answered based on That. Based on what I thought Pete meant as figured by his qualifying sentence.
I don't believe in Retirement (ceasing work and then living off of investments or pension money as defined by the dictionary and expressed on the Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retirement). But I do know Most people in this country view it as ceasing work at 65 and living on the pension or retirement fund for the rest of their lives. And Early Retirement means the same as above but earlier than 65.
Any other definition just muddies the waters of the words we use to communicate and leads to ineffective communication.
