I retired at 60 but went back to work.No. You fall into the trap.
How come ? Were you bored or something ?I retired at 60 but went back to work.
You have to be pretty unimaginative to think that work is the only worthwhile thing in life.Exactly my opinion of things aswell mate ,I'm 39 but personally I need a purpose/aim in life,something to work to .
Only people who I do know that enjoy sitting about doing nowt from day to day are lazy kernts who are really just waiting to die.
Yes. I was. And I am loving it now. I work 20 - 30% of the time and it keeps me happy.How come ? Were you bored or something ?

You are spot on about physical jobs. Mine is not. I took up my old IT job again.Yes, but many people do hard physical jobs that they can't do when older. Not the same when you are in a position to retire but fancy a part time job like B&Q to keep you ticking over (which the in laws did).
I agree ,many more things to do which are more important,but will become rather boring given time.You have to be pretty unimaginative to think that work is the only worthwhile thing in life.
Depends on your interests, I suppose. I should add that I'm quite jealous of people who get a lot of satisfaction from work. I sometimes really enjoy my work but must admit a lot of the time I can think of things I'd rather be doing.I agree ,many more things to do which are more important,but will become rather boring given time.
I'm retired. I'm busy every day and never stop. Train most days. DIY and general choresExactly my opinion of things aswell mate ,I'm 39 but personally I need a purpose/aim in life,something to work to .

Have to be a certain age to claim it don't you?
Rather just have savings, not banking on making 70 anyway.
Not everyone can afford pension contributions like. Work were taking £80 a month off me. Now way could I afford to pay that. I imagine many others are in the same boat.
I'll deal with that when I get there, I'm not going to start saving at 21 so I'm ok when I'm 70. There's a good chance I could be dead by then. I want to live my life while I'm able. Of course I'll start saving for retirement at some point, but it won't be through a pension scheme that's for sure
What plan do you have in place.Fuck that. No chance I'm working over 65, ideally be done at 60.
What plan do you have in place.
I'd retire tomorrow if I could maintain a similar standard of living to what I have now. It be f***ing mint."Retire when I'm 55" the amount of times I've heard lads say this over the years is staggering.Dont think anyone of them had any significant plan /drive to do so .
I'd guess if I could (which I think I could at that age ) then I wouldn't as long as I'm fit etc .
It was tapered. I don't know the exact years but if you were born around 1951 ( women) you got to retire at 60. If you were born in 1956 you got to retire at 65. Born between these two years and you got a tapered retirement somewhere between age 60 and 65. Born after 1956 retirement age then got changed from age 65 to age 66 ( men too i guess). I think if you were born after 1960 your retirement age will be age 67 now.just put it up gradually.
should have done it for years. stick it up a month a year
so 65 and 1 month
65 and 2 months
every 12 years retirement goes up a year
felt for those women on the cusp who just missed out on the 60. if it had been tapered up be lot less hard hitting
Forty years stamp even with a few years off works. 18 to 58.just do 40 years full stamp is another way forward. 40 work continuously for 40 years you retire early
Thought you were on minimum wage? You won't be paying much, if anything, off a student loan. ( Sorry if you meant other student debts as opposed to loan).Nah, at present I couldn't afford it without compromising on other things, but that's because I have a fair bit of student debt left to service.
None of your business really. I just know I'll be done when I'm 60 at the latest.What plan do you have in place.
