Retiring

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Indeed - i could have slept with a high class hooker every night for 30 years and it would have been cheaper.

They should perhaps teach this in school !

Indeed - life lessons by people who have lived

Retiring (or not) is a very personal decision. I’m happily working even though I’m approaching 67 but obviously that isn’t for everyone.

Equally, retiring as soon as possible and the ‘not enough hours in the day’ viewpoint of others doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest.

What’s the saying for the wealthy “If it flys, floats or fucks, rent it”

I'm taking early retirement on my 50th birthday in May. Have been working since I was 17, bought my first house at 21 and paid off my mortgage when I was 32. Haven't had a car for 17 years, and I'm not at all materialistic (apart from spending money watching City home and away, holidays, beer and other essentials).
Looking forward to spending my time getting fit and staying fit, sorting out some longstanding issues with my house and garden and loads of travel and relaxation.
Haven't been enjoying my job for a while, especially after having worked in isolation at home for the last year, so really looking forward to being able to knock it on the head.

During this lockdown i've been pondering retiring even though i only do 25hrs a week.
Being away from work has made me 'nice' again according to the breadknife.

After spending ten years going to the pub after work and getting annoyed by the people in them then coming home in a bad mood i probably needed a kick up the arse to get out of that cycle and covid has done that.

Ha, yeah. I only do this site and a bit of facebook for work and never have ssn on. In fact, the only time i used to see ssn was in the pub. Rarely watch the news either.
Living, working and boozing in the same town means i get mithered by all sorts of people all the time and it's probably worn me out.
