Thats us just back from a nice lunch and some daytime drinks and a wee bimble around the shops. I could get used to this new life. Tomorrow will be a bike day.
Enjoy your retirement bruneep. I got down to interview level at 19. Would only have another 6yrs or so to go. Now a paramedic, only another 24yrs to go..... Not jealous at all!
I got made redundant nearly 2 years ago at 53 and decided to start-up my own little online business - it's doing OK, pays its way and continues to grow but whether it pays me back the money it owes me I don't know. Had a pension review with a financial adviser at 55 - appears we're OK so only problem is income until I reach pension date - have a house with no mortgage. Put house on market last week, agreed sale in 72 hours so now looking at doing a self-build in Scotland. Got a better price than we expected and can probably survive will little income on the house sale proceed until pensions kick-in. No flashy cars and no fancy holidays will be the sacrifice - couldn't be happier.
