The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Had a Q day. Mrs D still aching from her fall yesterday so stayed home to keep an eye on her.

Here's a question for us retirees.
How much of a nest egg would you need before you lashed out on a big spend item?
Most of us, at our time of life, are property rich with some cash in the bank.
I'm musing over whether to drop about 20% of my liquid assets on a motorhome but something is holding me back - I just can't envisage spending that much.
Any thoughts?

I went and dropped 58 large on my camper. Its not 20% of my liquid assets, but was still a sum I thought carefully about for some time before committing.

As my Dad said to me at the time, "there are no pockets in a shroud."

I’ve started watching The Rapture. Good so far.

I've seen the whole of series 1, I thought it was very good.
I believe there will be a series 2
