Retirement - what age you going

Got another twenty years to sixty and I'm not overly confident it won't be like Mad Max by then.

Probably better off using the money I'd put in a pension to take a motor repair course, CBT lessons so I can learn to swing a metal chain while riding a motorbike and a bit of MMA in case I find myself embroiled in some kind of Thunderdome scenario.

No idea. I’ll have a decent enough pension and don’t have an extravagant lifestyle, but the missus has no pension so health and employment willing I might go on til at least 60, maybe longer. I definitely feel like I’ve more than another 10 years in me.

You fish as well? Nice. Competition or pleasure.
Don’t get me started on the pension.
Got my records from glascow and it has me as 5 year 200 and odd days. But I got out on my 6 year point which is a 7-8 grand payment at retirement. But they don’t count your training so they trying to fiddle me out of it. British legion are fighting my case atm.

More just pleasure. All catch and release.
Except the winter. I join as many ice fishing derbies as possible.

They fucked the pensions up while I was in. They stopped paying at your 22 year point and you have to wait until you’re 55.

<< this, how can people think they would be bored or lost off ??? get a hobby , travel around , spend more time with friends and family, make new friends, go to gym , do couple of sports , sort the garden out
the big hurdle is or should be whether can afford it , not that you would feel worthless and lost off , work to live don't live to work
 
Weird, I was just thinking this morning I haven't seen the Michelin man in a while.

Maybe he's re-tyred.
 
Next year, I hope, though the missus wants me to do another year after that. Feck that (don't tell her)
 
Don't want to be doing this past 50 like. Wouldn't mind keeping some interest via consultancy or non exec director of some kind.
