If you register on the government site you can view when you can claim your pension, see what contributions you've made so far and how much you'll get (based on the current amounts anyway).

Yes this tells me that my retirement age is 67 but not whether I can take my personal pension at 55 or 57. Unless I am not looking in the right place
60 is the plan, and I’d do it earlier if I could, in a heartbeat. Decent work pension with quite a few years of final salary preserved before it was changed to career average - but I went up the ladder pretty quickly (before stalling for about ten years) so that’s helpful too.
If I didn’t want to retire because I’d be ‘bored without work’ I think I’d do myself in now, tbh. Just can’t understand that at all. There's so much I want to do. I like my job on balance, and I work with some really decent people, but if I didn’t have to I’d be out of there like

Minimum pension age (to take your private pensions) is age 55, however it is going up to age 57 in 2028.

Yes but I turn 55 in 2028 is it 1/1/28 or 6/4/28 it makes a big difference to my planned retirement

It’s likely to be 6th April, as that is normally when they change rules from, however it hasn’t been formally signed off by Government.

I hope you’re right. It’s only nine years away and it would be nice to do some planning.

Wait until you get there. the worst thing I can think of is sitting around all day doing fuckall. Also I was a late developer on the baby front so my situation is slightly different to other people's. I'll try and do 4 days a week, then 3 and then see from there. I'm 58 now like - still handsome as fuck like.

So don't sit around doing fuck all.
I took 6 months off a few years ago and I've got no idea how I ever managed to work. It was great .

Thanks for posting that, it’s still not clear but at least it made me realise it’s not just on here that it descends to bickering after the first few posts.
I won't be. I'll struggle to fit in all the things I want to do. Can't imagine a world where I'd not know what to do other than a day job.

Its what i'm currently looking at, building up a little investment portfolio with passive trackers, bit of p2p & longer term cash bonds. Im hoping with the next 2 year can get into a position of mortgage neutrality then fund the mortgage from the offsetting investments, which over the next 20 years should generate a decent little nest egg for retirement.

Am now six months into working part time. It was a decision I thought a lot about as it's probably pushed back retirement by a few years. All good so far though.
