Cheers Biggs, I enjoyed a marvelous and I think deserved lie in.
better start looking for another job. My Dad is gonna be 94, Mom just turned 91 & had hip surgery. she's back washing the floors on her hands & knees, & I wouldn't be surprised if she finds the cars keys & makes a break for it. my point - we'll be living longer so if you're 60-ish you might have at least another 30 years to finance!I've had a message from my pension company asking if I would like to consider phased early retirement. I'm not that old
One private pension does mature in a couple of years. But given it never really started I'm not sure £4 a year's going to keep SWMBO in the luxurious lifestyle she expects
that's it? c'mon man what kind? was it good? what did you use it for? I'm hungry!
yeah man, do it! I got a cheap used one a cpl years back & I've been having a ball! a cpl falls every year but no harm, no foul
can you arrange for a team of scouts? I'd be out there 24/7 & knocking on neighbors' doors. here's hoping someone brought it in & it's not out in the wildsOur kitten hasn't been in since this morning when he discovered a little person in his home . I've been out and whistled for him but he hasn't turned up . I just hope he comes home when he's hungry .
even a "free-one" comes at a cost, eh?How come a freebie costs money ?
gotcha, right on! but you'll still need to consider what you'll do with yourself. we have close friends who are very well off. he's been a benefits consultant for Fidelity for 30? years & invested well. they're under 60, she's already retired & he's planning same this year. they say they will "travel". I have a HS friend I've been following for a few years on FB. she & hubby traveled the world. then got a mobile home & traveled the US. now they mostly visit their grandchildren. but lately seem to be traveling the US again. they've got around 30 years to go. wish them luck. I was between jobs for 7 mos. about 10 yrs ago & took up fishing while I looked for another job. got into all sorts, spin casting remote ponds/lakes, fly fishing rivers, surf casting & salt water boat fishing. but after 7 mos. I was glad to get emploiyed again
I would tend to agree, I would find it hard to fill the days after retirement, and I would also like to keep my income current, so I'll keep on doing my current job until I cannot work anymore, then do some traveling.
Yeah, not too badly... I get my second jab on the 18th, so I'll be venturing a bit further then.
