I'm working hard on the wheel so hopefully can come off it in 10 years and take early retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being judgey just introspective, You are right, you never know when your time is up. If its soon then the gamble hasn't paid off! I'm hoping to stop working around 52, full time, if not completely. What will I do? No idea! It'll just be nice to have the option to do anything I want without the worry of money. I'll probably buy a place by the sea, grow my beard again and try to write the perfect novel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I’m planning to play a lot of golf when I retire, I hope I like it otherwise I’m gonna be stumped for things to do. Fishing is the backup plan. Edited September 3, 2021 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted September 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I'm coming to the end of my third week off work, and I couldn't imagine being bored without a job. In retirement I'll do lots more of the things I currently enjoy doing. Unless you're doing a job that you feel incredibly passionately about that really makes a difference, it's very unfortunate to derive one's self-worth from the selling of labour. A career is a necesssary evil for me, and the sooner I can knock it on the head, the better. I know so many people who say they'd be bored if they didn't have to work anymore, and I don't know if they're in denial so they don't have to contemplate working for another few decades, or if they're very, very boring people that need some hobbies.

Fishing is the backup plan. I would start with the fishing and have a back up plan of anything which isn't golf. When I retire I would like to spend more time watching live entertainment. Theatre, Comedy, Music. Keep most evenings and weekends busy but it's going to cost shit loads obviously so pension pot will need to be big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I've had today off. Loved it. Had a few errands to run and now relaxing. Perfect! My Dad says to me now that he doesn't know how he had time to work because he's so busy in retirement. He looks younger and happier now than when he did when he was working! Work is a means to an end for me. I'm on the way down now! Been there nearly 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
