I'm cheating and retiring at 60... Mainly as the old guys I used to do parts for have shut up over the past few years. I will still be making parts for one good friend until he's had enough or I can't make them anymore, we are the same age. Hoping to buy my first new car, ever.... LOL Get out and about in better weather.

Oooooh more fleece, I could do with replacing this current wool G string...... Only if we can send you some dosh to cover the postage at least, Andrew.

Thanks guys, much appreciated and fully understand the busier than working comments.

I must be a bigger cheat than you - I retired at 57.

I was lucky to be with the same company all my working life and was in a final salary pension scheme.

As has already been mentioned - you'll wonder where you found the time for work.

Enjoy it.

Joules:
Cheers Phil, here's a blast from the past for Andrew.... It's still standing, though the brackets are looking worse for wear.

Yes I well remember you making that Jules :)

Well I beat the lot of you - I "retired" at 50 in 2020 (CORRECTON of typo 2000 !) - that is to say I ceased employment - I did some consultancy for about three years but I got fed up travelling the continent and staying in yet another hotel.

I lost my father at 58 - he never had any retirement - and it was his work that gave him his heart problems that finished him off, so I was determined to have some retirement time even if financially far worse off. And I have no regrets over that descision.

In 2008 I bought a Harley to ride when retired but thanks to the idiot turning left I went on long term at age 54 that with the optional insurance they offered I still received a full paycheque till 2019. Work didn’t have any “ light duties “ and the insurance policy read that I couldn’t be forced to take a lesser paying job I was getting $42.00 a hour at that time.
