The Retirement Thread

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I know of people in this small village who never earned enough to save. The self employed guy, may have been a very low earner and used the cannot be bothered to hide the truth.

Few of us know the full circumstances of others. Just a thought, would you have been considered wise if you had lived frugally and died before retiring.

The self employed guy earn't good money but spent it on lavish luxuries and good luck to him.
It's up to every individual what they do with their money and all i was trying to say was i am glad i saved for a pension.

 

[Drago]

Me too. Our income streams are fair and steady, but I've 6 figures of savings if I really need them, although nearly 2 years in I've not touched them. Compound interest on a decent sum is still, just about, OK.

That'll be a deposit of Mini D's first house, and Uni if she wants to, and I'll spend the rest on booze and stalking Carol Vorderman.

It would be better to do it when everyone else is at work.

We do on Wednesdays and Fridays when The Silver Eagles, as we are fondly known in the club, fly. From time to time we take a worky with us. Pensioner pace always catches them by surprise

This was a club run.

Morning all

 

[Drago]

Morning team. Not sure what I'll get up to today.

 

[Oxo]

My mission for the day is getting up. Anything else is a bonus.

 

[Dirk]

Mornin'.
Going into Glastonbury today maaan.
They've got some really intersting shops there. Quirky, diverse & mystical.*


*ALDI is our favourite.

 

[welsh dragon]

My mission for the day is 1. Get dressed. 2. Drop a prescription off at the quacks. 3. Slob around for the rest of the day.

Its raining again today so its the turbo this morning, I rode from Alcudia to the Lighthouse at Cap De Formentor on the last ride so I suppose I ought to ride back, there's some 20% hills on the route.

 

[welsh dragon]

Hagen Das have a new ridiculously moreish ice cream, salted caramel. I may have to go into town after i go to the quacks to buy some, just to test whether the 2nd and subsequent tubs will be as good as the first you understand. You could say, i will be conducting an experiment re ice cream. So i am not doing it simply because i am a greedy oinker.

 

[Drago]

Turns out I'm dogsitting Gaylord today.

Good morning from a very wet Coventry, it looks like my ride today is off.

 

[Dirk]

Last night's forecast said rain all day today. It's actually fairly bright with broken cloud and no rain.
Might have a climb up Glastonbury Tor this morning.
