we need another word for modern retirement

So I'm in my mid 30s, and when I was a kid retirement meant you stopped working. Or if you did, it was a hobby like wood working, and no way were you dependent on it to keep up a lifestyle. Today, I'm seeing more and more people “retire” and end up having to work somewhere they hate part time or full time. Sometimes they stop working for 6 months or a year. But even after they join the workforce again they keep referring themselves as retired. And what sucks is they are only working to help pay off medical bills, cost of living skyrocket, and so on.
